Haiku for a holiday-shortened work week

Finally Friday!

Work week was only four days.

Wow! It seemed longer.

When I feel too stressed

my neck will get very tight.

Tight as a drum now.

Switching the channels

between @INDIANS and @Browns

I’m a Clevelander

I do watch TV,

not the shows that get awards,

no #Emmys for me.

Thank you Lord for our modern home,

though the sun it swelters as in Rome.

Our house is frigid, really cold,

like an Inuit’s dome of old.

While some may scold

“You’re wasting all that energy!”

They don’t live with four grumpy boys,

my wife,

and me.

Amen

Lucky me!

I’m a tree

full of leaves,

I block the sun.

Please feel free

to rest by me

when your chores are done.
