Stopping by Desk on a Winter Morning.

Stopping by Desk on a Winter Morning   
                                      with apologies to everyone

Whose desk this is I think I know,

I’m sure she’s on vacation though.

She will not see me working here

When she is back, I’ll have to go.

My MacBook Pro must think it queer,

I haven’t time to have a beer

Between six projects and a pitch,

When you’re freelance, that’s your year.

I’m working hard, my day rate's rich

My poor left eye though has a twitch,

From working weekends, nights, vacation

When you’re freelance, no 'on-off' switch.

My desk is humble, a temp work station

It’s here I do my best creation

And form ideas right from gestation.

When you’re freelance, you ban frustration.
