2018 Sonnet 32

Saturday! Here at last! Now I’m owning
That procrastination celebration
That I’ve lived all week, so now I’m loaning
Saturday the right to recreation.

Saturday! Here at last! Take your leisure.
Sabbath rest with a twist of laziness.
Saturday! Yours to blow, only be sure
To obscure your right to rest with haziness

Over whether you will give Saturday
To hobby, rest, refreshing sanctuary.
Or will you say you went another way,
And used it as a time of pain to carry

All the memories of things you didn’t do
And thus use Saturday for working too?
