Weekend

What do I do when the work day is through
Do I go home and watch T.V.
Or stay in town and watch a movie
What about the house work that needs to be done
Just thinking about it makes me want to run.

It’s only 7am on Saturday and what do I hear
My little brother revving his engine in every single gear
Mom’s in the kitchen banging dishes around
Dad’s on the couch sleeping rather sound
Do I get up or stay in bed
Or maybe roll over and just play dead.

Now that I am up and moving about
How should my weekend be planned out
Maybe I’ll go shopping with a friend
But if it is raining I’ll just stay in.

What about Sunday the last day to rest
I could listen to the radio and maybe call in a request
Tomorrow it is back to work and no more sleeping in
Using the computer and answering the phones over and over again.
