It's Saturday

It wakes us

In snuggling whispers

To softly say,

‘Don’t rush up yet,

…no need to hurry,

It Saturday’

While nudging to-do’s

Begin nagging

She smiles

And reminds us

It’s Saturday

Relax for a while

And we ease up

On the bustle of

Routine ranting pace

Because it’s Saturday

Laughing nugget of

Week-end grace

Of second-cup coffees

And pausing

To feel

The pleasure of moments

Dripping from

Time’s reel

Before the demands

Of another week

Yanks us from sleep

For now

It’s Saturday

‘Fuzzy slippers,

Girl curled next to me’,

Let’s make some muffins’ morning

And memories to keep
