Back to work after Christmas break
It’s all downhill from here
Can’t dress in festive loungewear
Can’t start the day with a beer

My suit is now a little tight
And I really can’t think why
Perhaps I’ll mull it over
While I eat one last mince pie

It seems unfair to be back at work
It just does not feel right
I think it would be better
If I stayed off till twelfth night

  1. All good things come to an end. Never mind; do it ALL again next year?
    Fun times are done,
    Christmas cheer dissipates,
    Bye bye 2021
    Less than jolly 2022 awaits.

    1. 2022 still has everything to play for. It’s a bad start but if any abstract measure of time can turn things around, I’m backing 2022 to be the year that does it. I’m not booking a holiday or anything obviously, but I’ll be cheering it on from the sidelines!

  3. Oh, please keep writing poetry
    With laughter I go berserk
    It helps improve my reading skills
    and delays my return to work
