Best Take The Day Off Poems


Sick Day
Let’s just take the day off and maybe call in sick,
Just one day away from work I think will do the trick.

We could start by sleeping late then lay around in bed,
Sharing conversation or something else instead.

Then it’s off to the diner to have some...

Slam I Want Her As My Daughter In Law Son
You are thicker than summer night humid air
Sweating beneath a ceiling fan
Wishing it would stop

You are the Butterfly to my Moth

You love in spade's 
You make light of darker day's 
Of nothing have I ever seen you fazed
You buy me little treats at the end...

'the Girl That Was Way Out of My League'
buttermilk biscuits rise in the oven
scrambles eggs are frying
the hominy grits is bubblin'
the french vanilla coffee is perculating
the plates and the silverware are clanking
you say good morning with a smile
i say the same back with a grunt
as usual, you do something silly to make me...

Time
Time

Time is always on time.
 You could set a watch by him.
Time likes to fly every chance he gets.
The faster he goes it’s better yet
He slows down when you want him to go fast
And  then goes faster when you just want it to last.
Time...

Premium Member Rain Drop
It is that of the rain to which falls. 
That of a winter wind to which blows. 
It is of the rain drop to which started this day. 
Not that of a sun shine but that of a doom day. 
It is of something wet...

Premium Member Fancy a Taxi
FANCY A TAXI?

There was once a young man called Mark,
Who worked at a local bank
As a clerk.
He went to Spain for a holiday.
Got quite drunk one night,
And after a roll in the hay,
With a girl who he met in a bar,
Moved in with her, she...

Fish Eyed Wine
Fish Eyed Wine

Push and grind push and grind
take the day off for fish eyed wine
fish eyed wine
give me a mouth and perhaps in time
we'll all sit down together 
for unleavend bread and fish eyed wine
push and grind push and grind
children today live lives blind
they have...

Where Is Vacation?
There will be a better place for this information 
when it prints as a small ad
there is a right to know 
baits are nothing but
half of all of you
blink at heartfelt applause
behind no cause 
hidden among million
quite unconscious of the blot
Is it large?
deploy the highest...

Farewell Bill
I’m mourning over my old mate Bill; the old codger’s no longer alive.
Yes, the old ‘bugger’s given up smoking and stumps are at eighty-five.
No more gambling and joking or swearing; he finished his long drinking spree.
But he’s left us a little concerned; out here death...

Most Certainly Gladly Left Alone
I just want to take the day off
 Walk all over the house, up and down the hall in my drawers
With a lit cigarette in my mouth 
    "Round the time I was supposed to be clocking in
Trying to meet ends
More I...

Youth, I think it's time,
on your bike to climb
to rapture sublime.
Feel wind on your face,
freedom to embrace,
so that you may fly.
Watch the world go by -
on your two-wheeled high!

Turn left or turn right
to a newfound site. 
The sun's a delight,
a shining jewel. 
A beach trip...

Unwrap This Tootsie Roll Treat
Take off the wrapper and suck it slow
This sweet chocolate treat 
Reach back into the bag look for another
Make sure all the wrappers are left on the floor

Hide as much as you can in your bedroom
Under the bed in the closet or even in 
Your...
