One Productive Weekend

When I get a weekend where I can stay

In my pajamas at home all day

I decide I am going to take things slow

Luxuriate in the extra time, just go with the flow

But unfortunately there are neglected chores to complete

That I cannot attend to during weekdays as I deplete

All my energy and time at work- so the weekend

That began with the promise of extra time I start to spend

Rather fast in completing tasks mundane

The perception of abundance of time starts to wane..

In the weekend I have resolved to pursue

Recreational activities that fill my cup, but I cannot get to

During working days, so I want to entertain friends

To indulge my creativity is also my intent

I have resolved to catch up on rest as well

That is an overambitious plan already, as you can probably tell..

Most of the time the weekend flies by

Without accomplishing much, in the blink of an eye

But I’ve had a weekend where I am overjoyed to state

I was able to work on almost everything on my plate

With all the i’s dotted and t’s crossed in preparation for Monday

I shall sleep soundly tonight knowing I had a fruitful day..
