Vacation Repeats

[Read Write Poem asked us to repeat ourselves - well maybe just a little. Here's what I came up with. Others are repeating themselves here.]



Vacation

When asked to contribute on Friday
treats nicely arranged on a tray,
I am not insincere
to say (full of good cheer)
I will be on vacation that day.

And people have asked me to steer
the committee that meets every year
about deadlines and dough
and the length of the show,
but I'll be on vacation, I fear.

The bathtub at home drains too slow
and I'm nervous that mildew will grow.
I should tend to the leak
with a careful technique.
Whoops! I'll be on vacation, you know.

March weather is looking quite bleak,
and my efforts to smile are just meek.
I watch clouds that are gray
and I schedule some play.
Hey, I'll be on vacation next week!







OK – not exactly next week, but I am going on a short vacation mid-month. But "month" is harder to rhyme!
