NATIONAL POETRY MONTH....Day Twenty-seven



Today it's . The last work day of the week for many. Today is also the fourth Friday of the month which means it's the Friday the veteran's organization (where I am head officer) sponsors a dinner. 
Tonight I'll be working dining area by either serving the meals or taking money; doing dishes and/or clearing tables. 
Coming up with a menu is not an easy thing to do. You want to give something a bit different than the normal. Also you want to attract a crowd so marketing and advertising important. Tonight's meal is called AMERICAN DINNER. It's also a comfort food meal.  Plain American fare of fried chicken and yes apple crumb with vanilla ice cream for dessert. 
I thought about Friday when I could not wait to get off work. Sometimes we'd hit happy hour someplace. The problem with Friday is the knowledge Monday is right around the corner. I decided to put into words my thoughts of Friday. 
Until tomorrow....what are your weekend plans?


DAY TWENTY-SEVEN POEM

Fried chicken drumettes
    Sweet potato tater tots
        Creamy coleslaw 
An American meal....comfort food 
   Apple crumb with vanilla ice 
           cream for dessert
My mouth waters at just the 
        thought 
A rumble sounds from within
    I am hungry
All day I have waited for dinner
  advertised as 'American Cuisine'
It has been one of those weeks....
    Murphy's Law dominated my  
           life 
Something needed to uplift my
    spirits 
A glass of wine....good company
      and satisfying meal 
What more do I need?

Finally the last work day of the      
      week....it seems to drag on 
Ready or not the weekend will be    
       here after today....I'm always 
               ready 
It's TGIF....time to unwind....
     prepare for two days of 
        whatever you want to do 
Duty calls for one last time on     
      Friday....we look forward to 
        the days end
And start of the weekend with the 
         three R's....
               resting....
                      rejuvenation....
                              relaxation....
Yet....in the back of    
          our minds we are aware....
                 that Monday lurks on
                    the horizon
