now that I am home from work
I can imbibe in a few little perks

like sitting down to rest my feet
so too to view an incoming tweet

a day of hard toil isn't my cup of tea
I'd prefer to be vacationing by the sea

but alas and alack I'm wed to my job
and it is something that I cannot easily fob

the afternoon hours bring me much pleasure
as I can do those small things that I so treasure

labor is put aside for a short while
which invariably makes me smile

one is always happy clocking off at work
as one can enjoy one's little perks
