An Engineer's Day

Early to bed, Early to rise,

Is one of the problems that arise.

Too much work to be done before bed,

So we decide to do it later instead.

Getting up in the morning is such a pain,

And after getting up I wonder, "What do we gain?"

While the others try their best to hurry up,

We are pretty busy trying not to giddy up!

Sometimes it takes eons waiting for the train,

But otherwise, we gotta run till our ankles sprain.

We get chilled to our bones while standing in the rain,

Too little reward do we get, for going through such pain.

Our day is an excellent epitome,

Of people spending so much time out, that it becomes their second home.

There may be hundreds of people buying clothes at the store,

But if you spot someone dozing off in line, it's one of us for sure!

Dozens of assignments to complete before the dead-line,

But even though we've completed nothing, we say everything's fine.

Make hay while the sun shines, they say,

But it's not an option for us, because, such is the engineer's day!
