Unlimited Luxury
If I had a week of total ease,
Nothing to do but what I please,
I know that I would have to roam
Far from the confines of my home.
At home is where the work would be,
If I didn’t find it, it would find me.
I would sign into a splendid spa
With blandishments that would overawe.
I’d soak in their floral scented tubs,
With standby masseuses to give me rubs.
When with other guests I’ve interacted,
Eaten food with the calories extracted,
We’ll retire to the den for a game of chess.
I’ll dazzle them all with my finesse.
After it’s over, this week of bliss,
I'd go back to work, which I truly miss.
For Carol Brown's contest Won no. 1 along with many others.
