Almost a Snow Day

Although I really do love my job,
Love to lounge around with don't disturb on my door knob,
More often than not I'd love to play hooky,
Ornately drinking tea and eating oatmeal raisin cookies,
Sympathizing for all the ones who are slaving away,
Totally enjoying my Ferris Bueller off day,

Aha, I say as I look out my window,

Suddenly it started to heavily snow,
Now I don't more than likely have to go,
Oh, better I call up just in case,
Work might just be after all taking place,

Darn, thought they'd be shutting down,
Almost hung up with a smile instead of a frown,
Yikes, I think as I freeze and fishtail on my way to my job downtown!

I feel you on this poem, Cheryl. A very enjoyable read. The disappointment of not getting the day off is felt by me. Ain't worked in 20 yrs. So everyday is an off day. Love the title too. Lovely poem. Many blessings of love to you.
