Emile Pinet Poet Rhyme

My Inner Child

After a long, exhausting day,
I get anxious at quitting time,
smiling, without reason or rhyme.

My boss keeps asking me to stay
to work an extra shift each night;
and yet I won't, try as he might.

I let him know that there's no way:
that may sound stupid or funny;
but I do not worship money.

Life offers so much more than pay,
and like Cinderella's first ball:
I need time to sample it all.

And my inner child wants to play:
so, before life changes my mind,
I want to seek all I can find.

After a long, exhausting day,
my boss keeps asking me to stay.
I let him know that there's no way,
life offers so much more than pay,
and my inner child wants to play.
