My team is in the playoffs again and I have meetings on the days of the game. I thought retirement would take care of this but it hasn't. What can I do?



Poem Artwork

 

 
An illness hits me every fall.
October’s when it’s beginning.
It hits me very suddenly
and last until the ninth inning.
 
I retired a few years ago
so I could keep that month open.
But each year I have more meetings
than I was really hopin’.
 
My team’s made the playoffs once more
but it will not matter again.
On days they are scheduled to play
if I watched it would be a sin.
 
My dilemma  presents a choice
with few options from which to pick.
I know I should go to the meetings
but I can’t help it if I’m sick!

I think I would 'call in sick' for sure. And a cold beer at the ball park may be just what the doctor ordered!
