Anaphora

I’m so sorry

I’m sorry I’m late for work

I’m sorry I skipped school

I’m sorry I didn’t clean my dive kit

I’m so sorry

 

I’m sorry I didn’t clean my room

I’m sorry I didn’t clean the car

I’m sorry I didn’t cook

I’m sorry I didn’t cut the grass

I’m so sorry

 

I’m sorry I didn’t finish the course

I’m sorry I didn’t go to the Coop

I’m sorry I didn’t move my bike

I’m so sorry I just hate the work…

Damnit computer you just won’t listen

I shout blithering things, you don’t know submission

I click and I click and I click some more

You make my brain feel tired and small.

 

I gently kick you with my foot

If I could have my way with you you’d be ashes and soot

But alas my friend your end is not nigh

You are of property that is not mine.

 

Error occurred should I send a report?

No! I want you and your problem to have yourself sort

Why do have this problem you persist on me?

There is no error. That I can see.

 

Oh sod it I’ve had it you’re going to die

For this matter at hand I’m not going to lie.

I’ll put you on a battlefield against a javelin missile

Your CPU board I’ll be ecstatic to hear sizzle.

 

I’ll smack and I’ll wack you up against the wall

My extent of anger is infinitely tall

You are small but I am double

How’d you manage to cause this amount of trouble?

 

I don’t even know what you’re trying to say

I have to go home soon you’ve wasted my day

You have caused me an entire day of sorrow

This day has been hell and I’ll see you tomorrow.

I HAVE TO CLEAN

Ha! Ha! Ha! Goes the sound of laughter on the TV

I have to clean 

EE! EE! Goes the sound of the mop as it mops up the muddy floor

I have to clean 

SH! CLICK! Goes the sound of the kettle and a clatter of footsteps followed

I have to clean 

SCRATCH! Goes the sound of the pens as it writes out the cheques

I have to clean 

CLICK! Goes the sound of the mouse on the computer

I have to clean 

DRIP! Goes the sound of the tap as the dishes are washed

I have to clean 

PURR! Goes the sound of the cat as it rubs against my leg

I have to clean

SIZZLE! Goes the sound of tea being cooked

I have to clean 

CLANK! CLANK! Goes the sound of money as it is counted

I have to clean

What a wonderful day everyone else has had

I STILL have to clean!!!!!
