Sitting here in frigid air
My back hurts from this bad chair
I write reports all stinking day
And never get to live or play
The weekend is so close
Only a few days at most
But until then I must wait
Isn’t the office great?
Cover sheets and paper jams
Sometimes I don’t give a wham
Inside with all these boring types
What’s with all the crazy hype?
I wait and wait and wait all day
Shaking from my lack of play.
If only I could be outside.
To jump and sing and run and climb.
I dream of sky and air and space
Anything to leave this place.
They say: “9 to 5 it shall be”
But "No!" I say, "I shall be free."
Jump out of planes and climb on ropes
Nowhere near these office dopes.
I can choose to live my life,
I will not deal with office strife.
Happy is as happy does,
But happiness is hard because
Inside your heart you must find
What brings pleasure to your mind.
I cannot stand this dreadful place
Where Corporate ladders are the race.
I dream of life in mountain air,
For I am simply happy there.

"They say: '9 to 5 it shall be'

It's so sad but true how many in this world have chosen the "9 to 5" route to supposed happiness. It would be great if more people, including me, would choose the road less traveled to find true happiness.

I couldn't agree more. You are quite the insightful and introspective young man!
