Vacation or Staycation?

roger-turner Poems

Work was looming over me It was never getting done The family was tired too It was time to have some fun A trip away from madness To a place away from here Where work would not contact me And I could rest and drink some beer I checked the bank The news was bad I'd spent all the money That we had We wouldn't travel on vacation We were gonna take a forced Staycation We'd shut the doors Shut off the phones We'd make it look Like we weren't home I thought this seemed alright to me Now, I must convince the family We'd stay at home where it was free And it was cheap as cheap could be We'd do things like we always do No surprises here and nothing new We'd stay up late and sleep till two I could see nothing going wrong I told my wife She told the kids She put my life On up for bids If we stayed home Like I had said She'd make sure I'd wake up dead I went on down to see the bank And see if I could see A manager to loan some cash To save me from my family A staycation is something that Is great at times in life But, it will not do you any good If you try to sell it to your wife
