BLUE MONDAYS REVISITED

Many songs and poems have been written

about blue Mondays which have bitten

those who work for a living

and have jobs that are unforgiving.

Mondays are hard to face

for those who live a fast pace

on weekends filled with outdoor fun,

camping, hiking, biking and fishing in the sun.

Working for eight hours in a cubicle sucks,

employees feel like sitting ducks

at a carnival shooting gallery

waiting to be targets for a salary.

Routine is their middle name,

tasks which were a challenge have become lame,

supervisors are scratching their heads and

wondering if blue Mondays should be banned.

If that was the case then Monday would be on Tuesday

and feeling blue would be postponed in such a way

that songs and poems would have to be rewritten

as employees enjoy three-day weekends feeling truly smitten.
