Yup, Break's Over

I quit! Yippee! I'm through with work
  with taking orders from some jerk
slaving away for some worthless perk
  like a title of 'senior associate filing clerk'

Yet I find it odd, through some kind of quirk
   that deep within me yearnings lurk
to return to what I'd longed to shirk
   ~ Yup, time to punch in and go back to work

Timothy Mcguire Date: 10/30/2019 7:36:00 PM Love it! Read my poem "Lets Do Lunch" your poem reminds me of that one. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/30/2019 10:06:00 PM Thanks for the positivity and for the heads up about your poem. I'm headed there right now. Smiles, Gershon

Michelle Faulkner Date: 10/30/2019 6:06:00 PM Sharp and witty, that's how it feels on my (too short) breaks! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/30/2019 6:36:00 PM Yup, those breaks are always too short, and the grass is usually greener on the other side of our jobs too. Thanks for the great feedback, Michelle. Warmest wishes, Gershon

Tom Cunningham Date: 10/30/2019 9:43:00 AM Haha, I dont miss the work but do miss the people I worked with. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/30/2019 1:04:00 PM That's refreshing to hear... Unfortunately (I guess) for me, I miss neither the work nor the people. I've tried to stay in touch, but they all (so far) have responded with the warmth of an Arctic storm. Oh, well. C'est la vie. At any rate, I'm happy for you, Tom! Warm wishes, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/30/2019 9:40:00 AM It is fun to imagine an alternative life, then you realize you love what you love. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/30/2019 1:02:00 PM Grass is never actually greener on the other side, is it?! Thanks for the weigh-in on this one, my friend! :)

Line Gauthier Date: 10/29/2019 10:36:00 PM I enjoyed your poem, Gershon. Break's over. LOL Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/30/2019 9:16:00 AM We can both be thankful that we have a break that we can enjoy...So many don't have a break 'til they're already broken! Thanks, Line! :-) gw

Ts Poetry Date: 10/29/2019 9:19:00 PM I know the feeling as I was off for two years before returning in a limited capacity Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/29/2019 9:41:00 PM Whoa. That must have been really tough. Once you 'let go,' it must be hard to 'rein yourself in' again... I'm really glad you responded, T.S., as you've helped me. One never knows what the future may bring. I may have to return to the grind as well. So I'm going to 'steel myself' in the back of my mind, and try to enjoy retirement 'for the time being,' however long that may be(ing). Thank YOU, and best of luck! Cheers, Gershon
