Week#5: poem based on a song (lyrics rewritten)

=============

7 AM. the boring morning line-up:
Start the tiresome day with a cup of tea,
Wash up, brush teeth, get dressed like a normal grown-up,
Spill my tea,
Change again,
And it's like 8:30.

And so I'm late for work and my car wouldn't run,
It's so hot in here, my head is melting in the sun,
Why is it really hard for an adult to have some fun?
I just wonder when will my life begin?

Then after I get to work my legs are shaking,
'Cause now I have to go to see my boss.
All he cares about is the money-making.
Filthy rich,
What a witch!
He's the type you don't cross!

And I'll do more paper work sitting on the same ol’ chair,
I'll answer more phone calls, those are my worst nightmare,
And then I tell myself how life isn't fair,
Stuck in the same job I've always been.

And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin', and wonderin', and wonderin'
When will my life begin?

Tomorrow night the weekend will be near,
Like every week, I'll plan my dream career,
What is it like to win the lotto?
Maybe someday, I will have my own TV show.

The poem is the rewriting of the song "When Will My life begin" from the Disney movie TANGLED.

(The song and original lyrics are in the media)

It's one of my favorite Disney movies . I really hope you like it. :D

Much love
