After the Vacation
Vacations let you sneak away
And block out from your mind
The problems and the obligations
That you leave behind.
The paint job that is overdue,
The bills you need to pay;
The birthday gifts to buy
All freeze in place when you’re away.
The emails you must answer
And appointments you must keep
Create a pile vacation brooms
Beneath the rug will sweep.
It’s lovely to be burden-free
When in a different place,
But coming home, reality
Just smacks you in the face.
