I Got Off Work Early

I got off work early
It was such a nice early Christmas present
45 minutes to myself
Where I won't have to work like an elf
I sang We Are Young by Fun three times in my car
I drank two Mt. Dews cause 21.5 miles is far
When you don't have your sleep
You spend most of the day at work trying not to weep
I played on the computer because I could
I listened to a Republican speech by Clint Eastwood
I listened to Will Ferrell getting yelled at by a little girl
She wanted her rent
Will hadn't put money away like nuts to a squirrel
Money is nice
But is has it's price
You can spend your time making money
Or spend your money making time
In the end it isn't worth the dime
Give me my day off so I can rest
This place feels like a hornet's nest
And I'm tired of getting stung

About this poem:
I am looking forward to November 23 and November 28-December 1 when I will get some good time to myself away from work. Today was nicer than others since I got to leave at 2:15 instead of 3 pm.

Hi, mcradloff,
Give me my day off so I can rest... While having a job is a good thing and having a day (or two) off is great, having an unexpected 45 minutes to myself is a delightful gift to be enjoyed. Small things in life can make a big difference. Thanks for sharing.
