Well, it’s been a year
Since my last vacation
Where will I go?
Nowhere, I’m on a staycaytion
With much work to do
All around the house
No time for games
With a rambunctious mouse
Bushes to come out
And plants to go in
A few flowers for color
Nearly exhausting my adrenaline
And if that’s not enough
The turning of my green thumb
I’ll relocate the mailbox
For some added fun
Isn’t life grand
When you can take a break from work
Only to find yourself
Exercising a weeding fork
And guess what?
The lawn now needs to be cut
How lucky am I?
Grass always grows up
Oh, pray tell
The fun never ends
Have to power wash the house
The vinal siding to cleanse
And when all is said and done
I’ll sit on my front porch and smile
Then realize it’s time to go back to work
Guess the timeclock and I can reconcile
