The sun is shining brightly
The birds are singing loudly,
It’s the dawn of a new day
My cats are purring proudly.

I’ve a busy day today
But I’ve awoken smiling,
Spreadsheets are my future
A full day of reconciling.

My heart is feeling full
My dreams playing out,
If you need me at all
Just give me a shout.

I’ll have company soon
As I work at home today,
My oldest son joins me
But it’s all work no play.

A busy ten odd hours
Of numbers on a screen,
My mind wandering
I’ll need my caffeine.

Hump day is now over
I’m on the downhill slide,
The weekend relaxing
The music amplified.

Three days of freedom
Then back to the grind,
Wash, rinse and repeat
For the rest of a lifetime.
