Unemployed and Bored
Midday has arrived
and it is time for me to get up
being unemployed
gives me plenty of time to lay in bed
after all
there’s nothing else to do
the rest of the day will be spent
with either my friends
or watching the television
i can't go any where or do any thing
because
i got no money
and what little i do get
has to pay for my keep
the high light of my week
is visiting the job centre
or as me and my friends like to call it
the joke centre
in the evening
we would sometimes go to the park
and get drunk
before returning home
not much of a life
but it’s the only one I have got

time loses its 'value' when there isn't anything to do...
