9:30 on Tuesday

Lazy fan blades swirl splendidly
Parrots chatter with vigour
The clock marks time diligently
Timing the postman's delivery.
People file through with their woes
Swarming like so many ants
The clock marks time diligently
Their time is soon at an end.
The phone chirrups positively
Announcing all manner of conversations
Lazy fan blades swirl splendidly
As conversations go around in circles.
Children file from place to place
Laughing good naturedly at each other
Parrots chatter with vigour
Hoping to be included in the conversation.

At 9:30 on Tuesday morning in my office at school (lots of phrases there) I just took some time out and wrote what I heard. I wish the explanation could be a bit more romantic? unconventional? desperate?
