Oh Feck.

I woke at 9.57.

Sleep had been heaven.

Broken only, by that 3am curse.

It's been worse.

And I thought f#ck.

Client at 10

And here's me in bed.

So I rushed out to my shed.

I'm useless. Nah.

I'm rubbish. Nah.

I'm human, I'm Art.

Like a rock, full of heart.

10.03 and I'm ready.

Amazed I'm awake.

Laptop buzzing.

I can stop rushing.

Red lips on.

Glasses on.

Manky teeth and no cuppa.

But shoulders up I look Dapper.

And I'm smiling.

Laughing.

Wide eyes and grinning.

I'm Winning.

Cos it's a blank screen.

It's now 10.06.

Client: Sorry I'm late.

Me: It's ok Mate.

Ps obviously I told the Client I'd slept in and had only just beaten them by 3 minutes.
