Temporary Layoff…

Taking some time,

Feel the need so sublime,

To stop my upwards climb,

Of the ladder at my job,

Before these meds do make me, at work, sob…

Can’t allow that to happen,

If I keep going as I am, I may end up in a pen,

Where the only writing utensil will be a dull pencil,

One sheet a day of paper, just because of my recent caper…

So its time off I be needin’,

Time to reflect, to swim, to surf, to sit on the beach, offer my respects,

Maybe a tan I will get this summer season,

Not for anything worth the effort, that’s right not for any good reason,

Just to have it for a change, will show everyone my time on the beach,

A tan will be something that not even I can reject…
