(REPOST FROM DARK PASSIONS)

It’s the weekend
And the mothers are out,
The fathers are mowing the lawn
And the kids are up early
Playing up and about.

I see some man assemble
Around the liquor shop
Talk about recession
And how they wish
For an extra job,

I turn back to the kids
For they seem to care less,
But I hear one of them say,
My dad just became unwaged.

So I listen to the mothers,
They go on talking about their hair,
For they know,
Their man will come through this
And somehow make it to the end.

There is always a brighter side, if you look for it. Joyce
