Sunday Sonnet

Yes, to have a month of Sundays, I think
that would be the solution to Monday.
To skip the rest of the week with a wink
and eliminate all problems today.
Yes, I think that would be the solution.
No more stress or strain or auto commute.
Just a day of total absolution.
A month like this we could all salute!
A month of Sundays, the prospect boggles!
Home and family and visiting friends,
no more news related ugly hassles,
and no more errands to the earth's ends.
Yes, to daydream of a month of Sundays
and avoid the issues of the real days

It's called retirement. And yes, that would be wonderful. But I can wait. I have been waiting all my life for that. Thanks for sharing.

I'm with you, Ahellas. Let's toast to a "month of Sundays" and forget about the rest of the week. Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn
