Labor Day Lament

So here it is Labor Day and I feel like I've been left out in the rain, runover by a truck, and then buried by some cat who thinks I look like I need burying. Labor Day should be a day about barbecues, playing frisbee golf, shooting targets or dove hunting, or even better, just hanging with friends and enjoying the day off from work.

Not me...sigh, I've brought home a truckload of work, rented a movie, and plan to take a long nap to see if I can't sleep off this funk. So in full lament mode, I offer the following...

I know it is Labor Day
A day for taking it easy
But I must confess my dismay
At finding myself a bit queasy.

I should be out having fun
Enjoying myself to the max
Maybe playing in the sun
And taking time to just relax.

But no, not me, I must fetch
Work to enjoy in my own home
So if I feel the urge to retch
I'm close to the ceramic throne.

Have a great Labor Day friends
May you enjoy it to the absurd
Cause today I know that I'll spend
Flipping this holiday the bird.

cheers
