Graze In Daze

Short weekends and long weekdays School’s out then it’s onto résumés and workdays Mondays dragging on through to Fridays Long commutes on highways, subways and tramways Toiling for okays, some praise and hopefully a raise Soirees and negligees for Saturdays Aspiring to bouquets so enchanting in a vase Before you know it’s on for matinees on Sundays Enjoying soufflés, sorbets, sundaes and parfaits Eyeing the calendar for paydays As well as birthdays, holidays and getaways But nowadays, as retirees, we have our days And often we just graze in haze almost a daze Where Tuesdays look no different than Thursdays To paraphrase it’s our final phase when interplays In many ways the sweet nostalgia of yesterdays AP: 3rd place 2020 Posted on March 13, 2018
