A DAY OFF

help! I need some rest

A Day Off

Today's a day i'm off from work

How wonderful it is

To be able to sit and finally relax

And not be in such a "tiz"

Put my feet up and just lay back

Ah, the comfort I will feel

But then reality sets right in

I only wish that thought was real

There's piles of dirty laundry

Covering up my floor

And don't forget I have to eat

So it's off to the grocery store

Then I need to take the dog

To the vet to get her shots

The garden's a mess I need to get

So many different pots!

The cleaners the jewelers the pharmacy too

Where will I find the time?

It's a wonder I can sit in front of these keys

And write this silly rhyme

Now it's off to the doctors to get my pills

And a check up from head to toe

He says i'm stressed I need to slow down

Please keep me from telling him where to go!!!

What a site I am when I unload my car

How I pray that no one will see

How strange I look as I carry this load

Oh no...I've dropped my key!!!

Finally I made it back in my house

Where I drop everything on the floor

And I think as I rub my poor aching feet

WORK looks better to me more and more!
