Less Haste More Speed

Woke up really early
With busy on my mind
That feeling of great urgency
Activity to find

Jumped out from the duvet
And rushed into the day
Tripping in a hurry
With breakfast on the way

Dashed out of the front door
Grabbing keys and drink to go
In haste swishing so quickly
Doing nothing very slow

Tore right through the traffic
Jumped aboard the train
Hurtled down the subway
The day’s agenda on my brain

Got into the office
Slumped at the desk at last
To recall that it was a day off!
Should have taken things less fast!
