Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 The Longest Day

On summer solstice day I wake

When early sunrise hits my eyes.

Hungover, oh my head does ache.

Why am I up is a surprise.

Cannot go back to sleep and so

I get dressed in my uniform.

Still dizzy, out the door I go,

And head for work as is my norm.

More day drags on, more I do fuss.

Guess that's how long, lousy days are.

At last I'm done driving the bus,

And head for my neighborhood bar.

"Gimme a double," I do say,

"Cuz it's been a very long day."
