Three Day Weekend

For those who work, a three day weekend Feels like a reward, The culmination of a goal That they’ve been working toward. It’s just one extra day and yet, It feels like so much more, A chance to catch up on the things On workdays, they’d ignore. But even for the unemployed And, too, retirees, A holiday on Monday Somehow really seems to please. So happy weekend, one and all; Enjoy this little break. Forgetting why the day is free, though, Would be a mistake.

I came across a prestigious list of the top 100 most published poets here and I am not surprise. Your quality indeed goes hand in hand with your quantity. I'll check one or two more of your works because this has given me a unique satisfaction. I give you a handshake of a definite 7!

Most of the time we are so focused on getting that extra day off we do tend to forget the reason we have it off. I love your last two lines, Ilene. Memorial day is one day we should always remember. Great write! Love, Kim

It is nice and then when you go back to work it is only 4 days.

Happy Memorial Day to you and yours - we should remember the meaning of the day. I went to a reform service tonight at The Village temple. Shabbat Shalom Matthew Anish
