TGIF

Tick tock goes the clock
Sometimes fast sometimes slow
Especially Fridays ergo

With great anticipation 
The game begins 
When it hits five everyone wins

Until then our minds tend to wander
In that moment of reckoning
The weekend beckoning

Of the things to explore 
When we head out that door 
Having just finished our last chore

Will it be fun to enjoy 
Or entertainment to employ
Either way jumping with joy

There’s that sense of freedom 
Coming to our life 
Leaving behind work strife

A big smile or a grin
Coming my way 
No more din for this day

A few beers to quench my thirst
Sleeping in is the option first
Time with my honey never a curse

Leaping children in mine arms
The substitute for alarms
Bringing their delights and charms
