9 to 5 Reality, by Mark Tulin
7/6/2019
I Think We're Alone Now played in Tim’s head as he woke.
“That’s it,” he mumbled to himself. “I’m going to be like Tommy James and become a rock star. I’m going to have girls fall all over me. They’ll toss their undergarments onto the stage and faint just seeing me sing.”
“I think we’re alone now,” he sang softly. “There doesn’t seem to be anybody else around…”
Just then, his wife got out of the shower, “Tim, what are you still doing in bed!?”
Almost immediately, the earworm stopped, and he slipped back into that 9 to 5 reality.

This was nice…
Thank you, Razni. Glad you liked it.
We can all live in another reality, if only for a few minutes 🙂
I think we need to, Rosaliene.
Reblogged this on The Reluctant Poet.
Thank you, RR

Yes, I’d much rather spend my time in fantasy. 🙂🙂
You aren’t the only one.
