This is a poem I wrote on May 30, 2011. It's from the point of view of someone having to work, even though the day is a holiday. Looking at the date, it was definitely written on Memorial Day that year. That's a day when most people in America are taking a day off; while it's a holiday that's supposed to be for remembrance, most people just seem to treat it as a day to play and have fun.
Today is supposed to be a holiday
However, it's not one for me
But I guess that can be OK
Because I'm working to earn some pay
They say that all work and no play makes me dull
But I don't have time for a break
I wish I wasn't so busy
And I just wish I could find a lull
