City Diary

Breakfast meeting,
Quarter to nine,
Eggs benedict,
Contract signed.

Morning briefing,
With new CEO
Coffee two sugars,
And pastries to go.

Lunchtime social,
In working time,
Curry for five
Two bottles of wine.

Crisis meeting,
With a client at three,
Double club sandwich,
In the French brasserie.

Crisis over,
Celebration!
Tube from the city,
To Paddington station.

Meet friends for drinks,
Some chick with red hair,
Talk about money,
And we’re getting somewhere.

Stop at a bistro.
No time to change,
Red wine and pasta,
And I feel kinda strange.

Twelve forty five,
The club’s loud and hot,
Shots and champagne,
And jump round a lot.

Three in the morning,
A cold taxi stand,
Eat grease from a bag,
With a greasier hand.

Home feeling ill,
Some sleep and I'm fine,
Gotta get sober,
Meeting's at nine.
