Well, talking about wonders...... the other day something funny happened. A little guy came to me, asking if I knew the word 'rap'. He was a rapper! He looked so proud, telling me this. Proud, and happy. He seemed surprised when I told him I knew what 'rapper' meant. It was like a way of life, right? Saying what you feel, in rythmic words, direct and open. 'Yeh', I was right. But, 'could I make a rap myself?' I accepted a challenge. Here's my rap. To Stevie's surprise and, let's be sincere and open, also to my own surprise!
No wonder, I felt inspired by my 'second' career as a senior going back to the office. So, let's rap about daily working life. May I suggest to imagine the sound of Tom Waits and some restrained beats behind the vocals?
Monday Morning Rap
Monday morning
Many must-do’s
Mind in wake-up mode
Must go now
Restore myself
Repeat to-do’s
Right, enough, join
Rushing hour Rotterdam
Good behaviour
Guided max speed
Go with the flow
GLX drivers driving slow
Then at last
The office’s there
Tasks for 8 hours
Ticking away, anyway
Pushing papers
Publishing notes
Plaudering peanuts
Plus meeting nono’s
Towards escape
The car, highway again,
Totally happy
True love at home,
Where I wanna stay ....
But then comes
Tuesday morning
Totally demanding ....
Say no more
