A piece of toast, a biscuit
and a cup of coffee
could there be a better snack?

Woke up too late to make breakfast
running to the office before it’s late
rats running through my stomach

Immediate meetings as I enter the office
No time to even get a bite
Have to be hungry for longer

My focus is diluted and I couldn’t listen
I’ll check the minutes later, I tell myself
Counting down to when the meeting will be done

“Thank you” my ears are alerted to the word
the meeting has come to an end
and it’s time to get something to eat

A piece of toast, a biscuit
and a cup of coffee
could there be a better snack?

My stomach is now full
my task list is too
Gotta get to work now and finish it soon!
