I have been buried lately with no time for my Den friends. Relief is in sight

Poem Artwork

 

The boss done beat the crap

Out of my sorry ass for weeks

But because he pays me

I cannot turn either of my cheeks

 

But I finished what I had to do

And I’m gonna take a break

Retreating to Mark Twain’s Forest

To my refuge on the lake

 

I’ll take along my laptop

As the words will surely spew

And take a little time to enjoy

Your poetry that I’ll review

 

Relaxation is the one true goal

The one I’m sure to meet

Just sitting on the boat dock

To soak my weary little feet
