Short Workdays Poems

This great land, a new chance
   A love affair, pure romance
Our hearts and minds open wide

On workdays more often than not
I'll have a small energy shot
Too stay alert
It doesn't hurt
To get a little boost like I got!

But when off no such drinks I'll see
They are replaced most instantly
Quick as a snap
I'll take a nap
And that's just mighty fine by me!...

Feels like a reward,
The culmination of a goal

Enjoy this little break.
Forgetting why the day is free, though,
Would be a mistake....
