Much Ado About Too Much Work, Not Enough Play
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 12 years.
Woke up in an utterly frightening tizzy over nothing
Just material would likely end up in a Seinfeld episode
Pointless being panicky over easily solvable problems
Doesn't matter when your mind in a whirl over trivial pursuits
Not the actual game, of course.
That would be something really silly to stress over
George and Jerry would have a field day with this
A whole episode of the show would be about it
30 minutes over a five minute rant or comedic punchline
Trying figure out that New York humor that everyone else loved
Not you though because there are more important matters
Distressed nerve ends of the mental white laced table cloth
Wondered when it will be time to come back down to earth
Where rational thoughts reigned supreme
And kittens liked to play with giant balls of fluffy yarn for kicks
Old Faithful getting tired of pumping a routine rate
Ready to close up shop at least for the winter, or for good
Weighing options about whether retiring was the way to go
Fed up with being a reliable goody two shoes
While others just skate on by with their own rules and schedules
Working the life of riley while you sweat out 56 hour weeks
Paycheck was nice and hefty, but the company morale an all-time low
Trying to find a way to balance work and play without caving in
So far, work was in the lead by a Fleetwood Mac style "Landslide"
Too burnt out to want to play with anyone or even by myself
Walk through the front door and crash in the living room
Passing myself off as a bearskin rug for the night
Desperately hungry for a proper vacation where sleep ruled
And fun reigned supreme 24 hours a day
Recharged the old batteries in the backyard garage
Ready to slay another work week once everything said and done
Need some mental clarity in order to start new year right
Nothing more, nothing less.
