Long Day Poem by Ray Feasey

The days been long with early start one’s home was left when cold and dark
Just two hours drive and then a treat to stop for breakfast and enjoy a feast
All to plan initially and then as usual not to be the closure of distant road the chaos unfolds

Vehicles backed up for miles containing early starters as myself with all smiles gone
Radio on for traffic alerts and music from so called jockeys off music and humor to accompany me this day

The completion of meetings and work based tasks then finally lunch that’s late but required as time has passed
A few more meetings that swallow up hours and late afternoon the wind down begins

Another long drive more radio news with ‘phone in’ programme and expression of views
Yet to drive three or four hours to get back home and shower and relax
And ponder on this day that’s been action packed!
The days been long with early start one’s home again and it’s cold and dark!
