Lead me not into temptation

Well, at least not on weekdays

Deliver me from evil

For those temptations on weekends...

He walked into the interview
With his ball cap turned sideways
A tee shirt, shorts and sandals
So you’re looking for a job?
Yeah man…but I can’t work before 10 or after 4
And no weekends...

He thought he was a Don Juan
But he was actually a Don Won’t
Women did not appreciate his wolf whistles or his philandering ways
He ended up alone most nights and weekends until the end of his days...

Had a dream last night, I was the ruler of a land
Made weekends four days long, imagine if you can
How popular I was
Cheered and beloved
Then I woke and realized my job was a garbage man...

Eating salads five days
Eons away weekends
Enjoying Sunday brunch
Eggs on white buttered toast
Extra butter in grits
Eyes brim with mirth and joy
Earth is a paradise

Sitting in my car
Sweat dripping from all my pores
Where is the cool air?

July 1st not 4th
Always working the weekends
Fireworks and beer

Broke until payday
Waves of heat boil off the road
Just a few more days...

Saturday mornings
use to be cartoons
today rifleman
mini vacations
are weekends for some

than for others
its just two days
weekends to me
use to be fun

roller skate
and dancing
hanging out

meeting
with friends

fun...

Why is it that our weekends go by in a flash,
before you know it we'll be back at work earning cash,
sometimes like Harold Lloyd I want to do something rash,
hang onto my clock hands and stop time from going so fast...

‘Cause a little bit of Summer
is what the whole year is all about

John Mayer


WEEKENDS

Summer at pool.
Staying cool, Sis!
Whirlpool of friends —
Laughter-cleanse splash.
Weekends play out every day, Sis!

Cars in the seventies,
Had character, you see,
Lime green Fords with stripes GT,
Waxed on weekends, thoroughly,
Double Cam exhausts with Mag wheels,
Now bland cars are the deal,
White, black, silver or grey,
Purple or orange cars just drove away!...

Two lanes are forced to merge to one
So traffic's slowly crawling;
On sunny summer weekends
Such delays are quite appalling.

For miles and miles we creep along - 
The cars, the vans, the trucks;
I think we'd all agree
That road construction really sucks!...

When you play fifty or sixty 
scrabble games day
you get incessant beeps 
on your cell phone


day and night, 
weekends, and week days.
It is a comfort 
knowing other insomniacs are up,
not able to sleep either. 
I love this!

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep....

ABC’s Schoolhouse Rock
was worth setting the clock

learning on the weekends
and having fun with friends

American Bandstand
and Soul Train worth a grand

during the day I’ll play
night I’m dancing away

ending it with Saturday Night Live
in the year nineteen–seventy-five...

I love refried beans
Jalapeno peppers too
I chop them up and eat them in a bowl of sour cream
All day, all night, and on weekends

But then I get old
My throat betrays me
My stomach goes amuck
I get acid reflux when I eat this
Luckily, I have six huge bottles of Tums...

watching for Mom's car
coming home from bar
she'd polka danced too
with a guy or two
Wednesdays and weekends
she's gone with her friends
leaving me and sis
and of course a list
we grew apart 
right from the start
they had their guys
giving me lies
how the time did go
there's nothing to show...

my neighbour was a simple woman
quiet and modest in all ways
she led the kind of life
that most would never envy

from nine to five she'd pay her dues
but then on weekends would come to life
she'd get dolled up and put on heels
and turn into a real live beauty queen

Evening snow falls silently
from a cobalt blue sky-
floating, glistening like diamonds
attracting one's eye.
Full moon lights up
snow's free falling way
with not so very many words
for anyone to say.
And so goes the evening
of ice coated weekends
delighting old and young children
and forever dreamy eyed friends....

Help me
He won't wake up these weekends
I came back home
I help him get unsick
Mom runs her usual parade
Dad just watches TV and escapes
He wants to change
But can't make himself rearrange
Disk problems in the back
Ironically im schooled in physical therapy...
he doesnt want to listen to me 
So time putters on indefinitely...
