Speed Demon's Last Requiem: Time to Pay the Piper
Always on the move every moment of the day
Cannot sit still even if multiple lives depending on it
Often told that people have to take Dramamine around me
Unable to allow more than a brief moment of inertia
Even when asleep in the most spacious King sized bed
A place fit enough for royalty cannot avoid constant motion
Restless as can be when time to turn off the lights
Mind moving faster than a V-8 engine on steroids
Trying to always satisfy the masses; not doing so half of the time
Galloping through workload doesn't always equal quality
Wrong letters dotted and others left completely uncrossed
Life more of a marathon than a sprint when it comes to the race
Bigwigs focused more on large output rather than seeing
If the wheels were falling off the axis or not
Despite being a high rated worker bee, excitement waning
With each passing day of the week blurring together
Added 5 minutes to the alarm clock each week
Pretty soon will be waking up when it's time to go home
Pulled over by the society police for being a nuisance on the streets
Being oblivious to the world around until it's almost too late
Nearly walked into the same pillar at the office twice in the morning
Recommended
Focused on the paperwork in my right hand rather than what's in front
Imagined that possible moment on America's Funniest Home Videos
Sound effects added to make it even more hilarious when my face had
Made devastating contact with the pillar that shouldn't be in the way
Of progress or completely distracted individuals walking to the copy room
Regularly in a hurry to get to the particular destination or appointment
Made it for the most part usually with a lot of sweating and cursing going on
Labelled as having a lead foot by family members when leaving a function
Amazed constantly of their version of Mario Andretti in the Toyota Corolla
Had one coworker nearly fall out of their chair after two slices of pizza
Vanished from my paper plate and into my Hoover vacuum cleaner of a mouth
Told them to accept that going leisurely is not part of this driver's nature
Only one that counted where the local police checking the roadways
If ended up on their radar, speeding ticket likely on the horizon
Struggling to maintain a balance between a brisk and relaxed pace
Have not found it yet, but still a work in progress.
A case where speed doesn't pay off.
