Putting on My Summer Tank(a)-top (Weekly Writing Challenge)

Posted on September 2, 2014 by Cosand

———-

Holiday weekend?
I groan at the thought of it.
Tourists everywhere.
Massive throngs all demanding
Adults losing their children.

I remain stoic
“Sorry, that will end today.”
“Yes, that is sold out.”
They need their outings perfect.
Summer was too short! (Again)

The day post-Labor?
Now that is a vacation.
Cat purrs on my lap.
Everyone else, get busy.
It’s my turn to go have fun.

Tom gets it.

(I also answered the challenge with a story on my Anecdotal Tales page. Apparently I like this challenge.)

About Cosand

He's a simple enough fellow. He likes movies, comics, radio shows from the 40's, and books. He likes to write and wishes his cat wouldn't shed on his laptop.

  What you say is true.
  The tourist world pays my bills.
  They’re all nice enough,
  But all those thousands of folks
  Can really wear a guy out.
  
  Thanks for reading. 🙂
