My Week Off
I am so looking forward to my week off work.
I have no travel plans, getting paid is the perk.
Paid to stay home and sleep in if I might.
Not to be ruled by dawn's early light.
I can put pen to paper and indulge my passion.
Forming my poetry in many a fashion.
Barefoot I'll be for most of the week.
Clad in my jeans, relaxation I'll seek.
Reading, crocheting and just staying in.
This much relaxing is probably a sin.
I'll stock up on groceries the very first day.
I just hate to shop so I'll get it out of the way.
If this warm weather holds there'll be time in the sun.
Visiting the parks, yes, that will be fun.
Coffee with friends, a walk on the beach,
Chatting on the phone with those out of reach.
It's only one week and I know it'll fly by.
I'll need to work on some crafts, for Christmas is nigh.
Once back to work there will be no relaxation.
Not until spring when I get another vacation.
