Play Hooky

Today decided to
Play hooky from 
All responsibility
Took a mental health 
Day away from the hubbub
Of the societal rat race
Took time out to set back 
And take a lode off my tired feet
Took a day out of the busy week to 
Take a step aside along the road 
To stop and smell the flowers
That we often take for granted
