Sunday scurrying,
From daily chores,
Usually left undone,
To computer keyboard,
To see the last image,
Or word moused upon.
Pajama clad body,
Green satin at its best.
Comfortable and lazy,
Giving ill vocals,
Their chance for leisure.
Thoughts of manly compliments,
And their jester like ways.
Not watching the clock,
Just sorting,
Spraying,
Cleaning,
Tapping keyboard,
Hanging out in old bookmarked pages,
No pressure until the moon came out.
Now it is time to free,
That night spirit within.
Only for a couple of hours,
Then back to poetry,
And wonderful friends.

Temptress,

Loved this one!!  now if only we could figure out a way to get paid for being here, we'd be set!!!  I bet we'd NEVER call in sick either!

Sign me up!!  

Although I don't know that getting paid for being here would be a good thing. . . then it would be. . . *gasp*. . .a job. . .

But I suppose it would be a job that we all would love wouldn't it?  LOL  

Great poem Temptress!

Temptress~
Fun to just laze the day in a poetry haze.
Wish it happened more often, huh ?
Me too !
