HOLIDAYS

HOLIDAYS

The government says : this is such an occasion:let's make it a holiday.
So it is thus proclaimed and will endure forever,come what may .
Of course the religious feasts are ordained for years beyond measure:
we either fast or repent and thus must forgo much earthly pleasure.

Now there are so many official days when we are entitled to relax,
really it is surprising they don't make us celebrate the day when we pay tax!
Just look on your calendar -there are so many days marked in red,
all government offices are firmly shut,the money-markets too, you bet.

So put your family in your vehicle and do your best to leave the city,
unfortunately you have to swallow each others' fumes ain't that a pity ?
Or you attend ball games, pay a small fortune for a place to park the car,
if you find a place to relax in the country -you deserve a gold star.

They say holidays are created for relaxation and you should unwind,
but if you are retired each day is when some work you try to find.
So,let each one celebrate these red-marked days in their own fashion:
they represent a respite from daily grind,do it quietly or with much passion.
