Not Much For That Friday Feeling

Work Work Work Work Work Work Long weeks with a boss who is such a jerk The world might end if the words thank you left his lips, jerk Nothing but a jerk I tell you, he’s nothing remotely like Captain Kirk I’m a baker in a country bakery, I’m not an office clerk Not even once a year do I get a perk Week after week just like clockwork Mondays and Tuesdays I am off work While the rest of the world is hard at work Weekends to me just mean more work Always excluded from weekend parties, I go berserk It’s been twenty years now, so really I’m way beyond berserk I’m now an outcast totally forgotten by the network I’ve never called in sick, duties I refuse to shirk But the boss laughs and gives nothing more than a smirk I dream of doing other things like fancywork, woodwork or artwork But my weekends aren’t for much more than leisurely housework Submitted on February 23, 2018 for contest FRIDAY FEELING sponsored by SILENT ONE - RANKED 5TH
