Stupid Stinky Gerbil

I am a beautiful and wonderful cat, No other animal compares to me. Everyone in my house knows that. It’s so clear to see. Other animals wish they were me. I am the queen of this kingdom And I vanquish all my foes, The rodents that used to trespass my domain Are all dead and gone, as everyone knows. And now what I say goes. I get all the attention I get all the catnip and treats I get all the pets and scratches I get all the best spots on cozy seats. I get everything, my life’s complete. But one day, while I dream away Laying in a warm sun spot An enemy invades my kingdom. I wake up and see what the humans brought. I am disgusted by what they bought. The humans call it an “adorable gerbil.” But it’s obviously a rodent, can’t you see? Rodents are our sworn enemy. What is this insanity? What have you humans done to me? Now those silly children who used to serve me Try playing Wordle with the stupid gerbil. Those children would be better off Playing Wordle with a silly turtle Not a stupid...

Fast and Slow Workdays


Some workdays feel like

They go by fairly fast.

There’s always plenty to do,

And on those days, we have more staff.


But other days feel like

They go by very slowly.

Even after doing plenty of the work, 

Only a few minutes or so have passed.


I sometimes think about why

Some days are fast while others are slow.

Sometimes it’s because of less staff.

Sometimes it’s because of less work to do.


Sometimes it’s because of more customers.

Sometimes it’s because of less customers.

Maybe it’s in part because I watch the clock,

Eager for it to be two, one, then a half-hour before closing.


But sometimes I feel like

There’s something more to it.

Maybe God is doing some supernatural

And I don’t yet know it?


I sometimes wish all workdays

Were fast workdays

So that I can get home “sooner”

And have time to myself.


On the slow workdays

I think about what I will do

When I get back home.

But I think about that on fast workdays, too.
