What shall I write today
Saturdays mean housework
There's not always time to play
Tonight some friends are coming
For a meal, drinks and a chat
That means dusting and vacuuming
Because "dust" - we can't have that!
On weekends though
I really love to go out for a walk
The fresh air makes me feel revived
There's time for us to talk
Throughout the week we have to work
It really is a shame
We'd rather be together
Watching tv, playing games
But weekends are delightful
It's great to be together
Hot or cold, or wet or dry
We never mind the weather
Getting sidetracked is a trait of mine
And when the words flow out
From start to end the topic's changed
So what's this rhyme about?
When finding words that match and rhyme
My brain begins to ramble
I write the words and hope you like
This is a prime example
Well back to Saturday and "us"
I'm wrapping up this task
My second cup of coffee's drunk
It's time to make breakfast.

Great description of a Sat. morning!
We found time to relax too, but as always with poetry you have to make things rhyme :)
I always end up cleaning on Saturday...But I still find time to relax. :)
Lazy Saturday for me today! :) Fun poem.
Oh Sweet Saturday!! Love it!
If only AC paid a little more, I would love to write articles all day! But, alas, I too have a job that I don't really want to be at. I wish the weekends were longer!!
Don't overdo it shoveling Rhonda. I agree R K, I think we do appreciate the weekends better after working all week, but they seem to fly by so fast sometimes.
Sometimes we appreciate those weekends more after working all week...
Very nice. Have a great weekend. If I can shovel my way out I may take snow pictures.
