Nine to Five

BY ROGER MCGOUGH

What I wouldn't give for a nine to five.

Biscuits in the right hand drawer,

tea breaks, and typist to mentally undress



The same faces. Somewhere to hang

your hat and shake you umbrella.

Cozy. Everything in its place.



Upgraded every few years. Hobbies.

Glass of beer at lunchtime

Pension to look forward to.



Two kids. Home-loving wife.

Bit on the side when the occasion arises

H.P Nothing fancy. Neat semi.
