The Weekend

They say 

that when you’re retired 

there are no days off because 

every day is a Saturday. 

I humbly disagree with that statement. 

Maybe it’s my desire to be obtuse, 

but I take Saturday’s and Sunday’s off. 

As a nurse, there was no such thing. 

Now, I ‘make it so’~

as Captain Jean Luc Picard said to his crew.

Topsy turvy is the order of each day 

and I fly into the open space of the weekend.

That doesn’t mean I don’t get the laundry done.

“I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent 

from Saturday night until Monday morning 

alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.”
