Your Day Off

You’re lying in your bed, it’s your day off and you are going to enjoy it just as much as you can. You’re up at the break of dawn every working day. Now it’s your day off and in bed, you want to lie. You lay there in your slumber, then the bell on the telephone rings and you cringe and wait for it to stop. You feel like pulling it of the wall, but you don’t instead you answer it. A jumbled voice at the other end says, “Good morning.” “Morning to you. Do you know what time it is? ” “Sorry did I get you out of bed? ” You take a deep breath and then bite your tongue. You’d like to tell this pratt just what you think of them, instead you simply say, “Goodbye” and scuttle back to bed keeping your fingers crossed the silly sod don’t ring again. You know soon as you close your eyes that someone else will call. So much for the lie in on your day off, it just never seems to happen. 19 February 2008
