Motivational dysfunction Is what I have today Can’t get off my sorry ass To keep the simplest task at bay I am not feeling puny Don’t think that I’m depressed But unfortunately the grindstone Is not particularly impressed The drawings all run together The paragraphs confused And now the stupid printer My instructions has refused The paper jams keep coming My coffee’s gotten cold As the boss’s expectations Very clearly now unfold I should have seen this coming As I drove myself to work My motivational dysfunction Was beyond a simple quirk So the next time that this happens I will simply stay in bed To let the world pass right on by A pillow covering up my head Copyright 2009 Patrick A. Granfors

Yes, it is a fine write...a poet lovers delight. Grateful for this one as a unmotivated to write these days. (Methinks I am a bear in hibernative mode) ~ Jo

I think it makes sense to go on strike every once in a while. Why let drab routine always have its monotonous way?

You've reminded me of quite a few days I had just like that. (You do look comfortable at your desk, though!)

I hate those technological problems,
especially when they become synaptic
misfirings tracing about the room like crazed lightening.
Look at this fine poem that came out of it though!

At least you are working
I am retired and still can't get out of my own way....
using the excuse that there's not have enough time
to do what needs doing......
Peace be with you

I know the feeling. Hard to know why these things happen. It usually signifies to me that I'm getting bored with my routine. Something new needs to come into play.
