Poem Artwork

Taking a little time off,
not doing nothing real heavy,
quite a bit soft.
Even while at work,
it'll be the same type perk.
The job will get done,
but along with a little fun.


Sure there'll be vacation,
but all time adds in equation.
Now every second counts,
even in small amounts.
It all equals break,
so every second I'll take.


My back hurts,
arthritus flirts.
My walk has become
a little slanted,
so I'm taking nothing
for granted.
Surely job demands,
but my boss understands.
It's been many years since
my date of hire,
in a few more
I'll be able too retire.

I like this "busy" reflection One... and I like the easy sound of your voicing, too. Daydreaming of work when you're on vacation... now THAT'S somethin!! A nice bit of philosophisin on your time off. Do you know of Eric Bibb, the blues guitarist... somehow I think you'd like him. Sounds like your kinda guy to me. Just a hunch. Enjoyed, thank you! :)) K x

I sure will be glad for you to retire so that your body can finally get the rest that it really deserves. Great expression.

Now that's the attitude we should all have.
