the ending of the day

at the ending of the day
a time to reflect and stare
note the colour of the setting sun
that is a rising sun somewhere

contemplate the work you've done
all the targets you've achieved
the correspondence up to date
all backups safely retrieved

the plans and future programs
your bosses demand
are well ahead of schedule
and under your command

the invoices have all been sent
all payments reconciled
statements and fuel accounts
sorted and safely filed

time to look out the window
and note the clouds go by
you have security of employment
now pigs are fed and ready to fly
