I Don’t Want to Be a Workaholic
I don’t want to be a workaholic
No beaches or playgrounds to frolic
To work all day and then all night
No plans “for sure” – a bunch of “might”
I don’t want to live in meetings
“Live to work” is self-defeating
To budgetize and strategize?
My dreams are seen through different eyes!
I don’t want to give up mealtime
Working straight through what-is-real time
Working lunches aren’t for me,
I savor slowly, sip my tea
I don’t want to write reports
and action plans of different sorts
I don’t want to pitch proposals
Constantly at teams’ disposals
I don’t want to dress in suits
Analyze causes down to roots
Don’t give a rip about market trends
Do those matter without friends?
Don’t confine me to four walls
A desk and chair for conference calls
Don’t make me give evaluations
Stay home from family vacations
I don’t want work to be my life
My husband needs a tuned-in wife
My children need a mom who’s there
Whose job is not her only care
My dogs would miss my evening lap
Where else would they curl up and nap?
I don’t want to be a workaholic
I need moments pure bucolic!
