Hard Work for Me is Child's Play

I love my job I work all day Hard work for me is child’s play Labor is its own reward And, you know, I’m never bored Yet every week’s a two-edged sword -- that starts out fast then slows down Thursday wears a frown… but Friday’s payday! ~ Hit the town! March 11, 2024 ~ Ma Knee Talks

Hi, I don't like working for our business i find it a burden, but no options, in fact it seeks us out. So well known after 35 years. On top of which it takes me away from poetry for which i have a passion. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer.

We can love our job but we need a rest. Take a breath…begin again!

I've always enjoyed working hard...I even work hard at retirement....seems like I do slow down along about Thursday or Friday. Appreciate your cleverness and creativity!

Hey, you're ahead of me. By Thursday evening, I'm collapsed -- through Saturday afternoon. My wake-up is Saturday night. Go figure. ~ Aging Erratically
