"Homer Eat Your Heart Out"

Finish work
Dead on six
Dash out of the door
You know the score
Got somewhere to be
From one library
To another
Changing my books
At the poetry one.
Get there.
Shut!
NEVER open on a Monday.
I really should know better
In my line of work.
How do I feel?
A bloody idiot.
D’oh!
As my cartoon hero would say.

Dulwich Poet 24th June 2013

(I work at a public library in Bermondsey. After work yesterday I jumped on a bus to the Poetry Library in Waterloo, to change my books from there. I forgot it was shut on Mondays.)
