A Case of the Blahs

A case of the blahs
   evening blues
dark too early
   nothing to do

8:00 p.m., Monday
   Why go out
Bars are dead
   Drunks passed out

Clubs are closed
   Who would come
Weekend burnout
   Twiddle-dee-dum

Turn in early
   sleep all night
Wake up tomorrow
   rested and right

I know this feeling well my friend. Mondays always seem to be such a let down and they drag on but like Sandy below, my evenings as well are over in the blink of an eye and I awake to a new day. By the way, you got any bug spray...seems to be a ignorant little gnat floating around the site.

Here's the scoop: In Chicago, but only on the North Side, the aldermen voted to give us 26-hour days.** Shhh! Mum's the word. :) gw **We gave them a $1,000 per hour pay raise, of course... It's Chicago, 'The City that Works...'
