poem: so happy not to be working

June 27, 2008

tags: bon bons, family, life, resume, search, work

i am so happy not to be working

i can drink wine

read poems

eat bon bons

i am so happy not to be working

i can clean my house

go to the store

spend money

take my son to the beach

i am so happy not to be working

i have unemployment

my car runs

my bills are paid

i am so happy not to be working

i am looking for the perfect job

i am polishing my resume

and my shoes

i am dreaming

of the door i will walk through

the job i will love

more than not working
