A Busman's Holiday

A busman’s holiday My husband introduced me to this term today I had never heard of it Checked it up in the dictionary Because he is a fast thinker with the kind of mind That instantly makes up stuff with a definition, And the correct pronunciation. I learned early on to check his facts Because of his fast-thinking make-it-up-quickly-kind-of-mind. Yes, it is true. I have the day off, and I will use it as a busman’s holiday. It is a disease. It means you do what you do, even on your day off. A grocer will visit other stores. An escape artist will go watch another’s show. I am heading to school, to listen to the teachers, for listening is what I do.
