I never did it as a kid Though I often wished I could Try as I might I had to be The child that was too good Stories heard ‘bout those times I’d envy my other friends But who would’ve thought that I Would take so long to make amends I tried it today and let me say It’s wonderful, such a treat Today I feel so happy at last My life is now complete! I slept in, what a feeling To roll over and stay asleep Schlepped around in old jeans Dog’s trailing me like sheep I sat right here the whole time And tho my butt is sore I only left for half an hour To run to the grocery store. Why is it that this pleasure Is not enjoyed by many more Mental health demands it What else are sick days for? Don’t say a word to my boss (I’ll promise you a cookie!) ‘Cause today, PdV stayed home Bad girl! She was playing hooky! [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (edited 04-12-2000).] |

they say confession is good for the soul... so I know you feel better...I'm sure you feel whole. Just dont feel guilty...you've committed no crime, theres nothing wrong with taking some personal time. We all have done this at least a time or two... and we sure dont think any less of you. I like to lounge around in my pjs and try to write, and sleeping in is great... when you stayed up posting in passions all night. So dont feel like you've been bad...you'll be just fine... UNLESS your boss read this post... then you'll be working OVERTIME!! LOL great poem poet d jm |

PoetdeVine~ How much this need to recoup was 'me' this morning ... but ... I gave in to reliability ! This may have been the incentive I need to take a 'personal' day off ! I like those, cause they aren't allowed to ask questions at work when we put in for them. Glad you enjoyed your 'goof-off' time. Recharges your batteries. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

You do make me laugh sometimes! Hey, I was raised to be a very, very good little girl too. (They always stuck me between all the bad boys in school, so they would be good. And that did a terrible thing to me - I grew a deep fondness and admiration for all those bad boys who were so much braver than I - and I always fell for the bad ones. Oh, man. Good thing I got the best of them for my own! I could have gotten a lemon by mistake!) And I say - days like the one you just had are very, very good for a person! It's high time you tried it! (Do it again sometime.) |

And here am I, my mom telling me I can play hookie from school, and yet I go anyway! Someone PLEASE tell me what's wrong with this poor girl! Ahh!!! Btw, very cute poem!

Sharon, If taking a day off from work creates the silly person you were yesterday than I think you need to take a week off, you had me dying. |

Thank you all!! I think Nan's idea is a good one...it should be called Mental Health Day...if anyone saw the post I put in the Alley, you would know what it's called that! LOL Thanks... |

Oh just look at the example you're setting for all of us. Now all of us are going to have to stay home just so we know how good it feels... You are a BAD influence on us all! Michael |

lmao PD LOL ----me the biggest hookie player of all as a teen ---) I wouldn't give up those days to save my soul. Glad you enjoyed. I could copy my mom's signature with the best of them. "Please excuse netswan today, she has a horrid headache. I think it is her eyes from doing too much homework. Tomorrow we will see if she is better, but I can't promise." I won't tell your boss -- but he doth step into this poetry shrine, does he not? |

I'm guilty of finding away around this, I just don't work when I am suppost to be, but then again look at my mental health, it doesn't say much for goofing around, great funny poem, and what kind of cookies are you offering ? With poetry as your weapon - express your iner feelings so all may carry your sorrow, united as one . |
