The following takes place on a typical monday in February<\/p>\n

00:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Midnight, the end of another fine day<\/address>\n
And\u00a0 its time to get into bed I’d say<\/address>\n
But I wont yet sleep<\/address>\n
I have promises to keep<\/address>\n
And a bit more planning to do before I may<\/address>\n

01:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
The time has now gone onto one<\/address>\n
And I am still awake having some fun<\/address>\n
Playing online chess<\/address>\n
Releiving any stress<\/address>\n
Which come to think of it I have none<\/address>\n

02:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its an hour later now two<\/address>\n
I still have a few things to do<\/address>\n
Maybe do a plan<\/address>\n
If I still can<\/address>\n
But first I’ll need a trip to\u00a0 the loo<\/address>\n

03:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

The clock on the wall now says three<\/address>\n
Its time to sleep even for someone like me<\/address>\n
So I will switch off the light<\/address>\n
Sleep the rest of the night<\/address>\n
Will the alarm wake me? I’ll have to see<\/address>\n

04:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am asleep by the time it is four<\/address>\n
Maybe deeply, maybe I do snore<\/address>\n
It would though seem<\/address>\n
I do at least dream<\/address>\n
Maybe once, but probably more<\/address>\n

05:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am still sleeping at 5 am<\/address>\n
The time that possibly when<\/address>\n
Some people get up<\/address>\n
Have their tea in a cup<\/address>\n
But I am oblivious to them<\/address>\n

06:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is six and I do sometimes wake<\/address>\n
I am too tired for my breakfast to make<\/address>\n
So I find that instead<\/address>\n
I stay in my bed<\/address>\n
And have an extra sleep for my minds sake<\/address>\n

07:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is morning and the time is now seven<\/address>\n
I am asleep and it feels like heaven<\/address>\n
It is all calm<\/address>\n
An hour till my alarm<\/address>\n
If i oversleep I may not wake till eleven<\/address>\n

08:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

The alarm wakes me now that its eight<\/address>\n
I have to be quick so that I am not late<\/address>\n
So its a rish again<\/address>\n
Before i get my train<\/address>\n
After showered, dressed and breakfast is ate<\/address>\n

09:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

The time has now moved onto nine<\/address>\n
I got to work and everything’s fine<\/address>\n
The lesson thats first<\/address>\n
Is never the worst<\/address>\n
Although the tired students do tend to whine<\/address>\n

10:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lesson goes well until ten<\/address>\n
This is the time generally when<\/address>\n
We break for fifteen<\/address>\n
Students take seventeen<\/address>\n
And I have to tell them off once again<\/address>\n

11:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is eleven and nearly the end<\/address>\n
I have driven students round the bend<\/address>\n
Teaching them calculus<\/address>\n
As they make too much fuss<\/address>\n
I would call them stupid but I dont want to offend<\/address>\n

12:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

So its a typical day at about noon<\/address>\n
It will be my lunchtime quite soon<\/address>\n
After tutorial I can be seen<\/address>\n
Queuing in the canteen<\/address>\n
And dreaming of the quieter days of June<\/address>\n

13:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

So the afternoon arrives and its one<\/address>\n
Paperwork to do, so much fun<\/address>\n
For everything a form<\/address>\n
Sometimes two is the norm<\/address>\n
Its the part of the job I like to shun<\/address>\n

14:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am often teaching again by the time it is two<\/address>\n
Sewing what the students can do<\/address>\n
This time its a log<\/address>\n
That is causing a fog<\/address>\n
In the minds of maybe quite a few<\/address>\n

15:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

The time has now moved onto three<\/address>\n
A lesson in geometry<\/address>\n
looking at gradients<\/address>\n
Should make more sense<\/address>\n
But we shall have to wait and see<\/address>\n

16:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

By the time it has become four<\/address>\n
Its beginning to seem more and more<\/address>\n
That gradients<\/address>\n
Do not make sense<\/address>\n
And the studentsfind me quite a bore<\/address>\n

17:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Work is nearly at an end<\/address>\n
Its five and I’m driven round the bend<\/address>\n
Who called this damn meeting<\/address>\n
Deserves a beating<\/address>\n
Why not put the info in an email and send<\/address>\n

18:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is six and at last time for the train<\/address>\n
That will take me home once again<\/address>\n
Although its always late<\/address>\n
By four minutes or eight<\/address>\n
Any longer and I go slightly insane<\/address>\n

19:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its now seven and nothing’s on tv<\/address>\n
So there a pther things to do then for me<\/address>\n
I can maybe mark<\/address>\n
While it gets dark<\/address>\n
Or alternatively cook myself tea<\/address>\n

20:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that the time is now eight<\/address>\n
And the evening is getting a bit late<\/address>\n
Its time now I think<\/address>\n
To go to the pub for a drink<\/address>\n
As a beer would really taste great<\/address>\n

21:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

The time has now moved onto nine<\/address>\n
And distractions have worked out fine<\/address>\n
I will not have beer<\/address>\n
But do not fear<\/address>\n
Instead a dvd and a bottle of wine<\/address>\n

22:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

That time has come around once again<\/address>\n
The annoying feeling that happens at ten<\/address>\n
I was feeling fine<\/address>\n
But tomorrow at nine<\/address>\n
I need to prepare something I’ve forgotten<\/address>\n

23:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its eleven and nearly the day’s end<\/address>\n
In an email tomorrows plan I will send<\/address>\n
Now I relax<\/address>\n
Have a few little snacks<\/address>\n
And wish that it was the weekend<\/address>\n

00:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/address>\n
Midnight, the end of another fine day<\/address>\n
And\u00a0 its time to get into bed I’d say<\/address>\n
But I wont yet sleep<\/address>\n
I have promises to keep<\/address>\n
And a bit more planning to do before I may<\/address>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
