Notes About The Poem

Seems most often vacation means a chance to catch up on all the things you keep putting off until you have time to get it done. (sigh)

I'M On Vacation

I'm on vacation,
And having so much fun.
I've been organizing and cleaning,
And working off my buns.

Made curtains for my kitchen,
Made cake and cookies too.
Did the laundry, mowed the lawn,
Made supper for the crew.

Then I did the basement,
From one end to the other.
Shampooed the carpets, did the drapes,
Now there's just the cupboards.

I'm on vacation, let's partay!
This week has been the best.
Next it's back to work for me,
At last now I can rest.

Very apropos. What else is there to do on vacation these days, but 'work one's buns off!'... Love that line, Judy! … The whole poem is just a roar... I was thinking of Phyllis Diller the whole way: Her famous one-liner -- 'They say that housework never killed anyone, but I don't want to be the first to find out!' Cheers! ~ Gershon
