Excuses

Every day of the week there is an excuse
It starts on Sunday when people come off the booze
And is often called those Sunday evening blues
People are sad to start work the next day
Even though they still want their salary

Then Monday is suddenly here
People are regretting their weekend was full of beer
And everyone has that “Monday morning feeling”
Where no one can work and they are still reeling
From all the events that happened on the weekend

People tend to nod with understanding
As if to agree their colleagues are not being too demanding
They are paid to come in and work
But Monday seems a complete write off

Tuesdays has to be the most productive day of all
They had Monday to recuperate
And can work without getting irate
It is not mid week so they are still full of beans
And everything is just how it seems

But Wednesday is just round the corner
and now there are more reasons not to work
Call in sick or leave early with a smirk
“I am too tired it is mid week”
I cannot believe people have such cheek

Then when it comes to Thursday
There is a sigh of relief
“Only one more day” they say in disbelief

Finally Friday has arrived
Who would have thought some had survived
To the end of the week without calling in sick
Those are the ones that don’t take the mick

Tantalising Tuesdays

So what happens on a Tuesday?

The office is quiet
Everyone is at their desks
Not much is going on
and this girl wants to get up and go
and get on with the show

She wants to start doing some work
She needs to put this degree into practice
to pay off that big loan fee
from the good old University

An enthusiastic type a gal
she wants to do lots and lots
But maybe this week will go by slowly
as she sits and waits for her holiday
she goes away somewhere nice and hot
and will visit all the different cities
in the foreign country

She can speak the lingo
so dont you worry
She can talk with people from all over the world
what a clever girl
but she never seems to use the languages at work
and sometimes wonders why she learned it all

But now she has started a blog page
so watch this space as she begins to fill it well
with lots of fun things she has been and done
in the life of juliana novell

The darkness

Last week is when it began

It is that time again

When the clocks go back

And we miss an hour of the light

We hardly had a summer of those long warm nights

And now winter is very near

It has come around so soon this year



The darkness has fallen thick and fast

We leave home with it wrapped around us

And come back from work after dusk

Night time for more than 12 hours a day

It makes us want to go on holiday

But we can’t and have to wait

Till we get our Christmas break



This time of year makes many depressed

There is a certain condition that people can get

When they lack that vitamin D

Which gives their bones and skin so much energy

The dark comes first, then the cold

And finally the first snowfall

This is when I know winter has really arrived



Some love this time of year

For me it only brings a tinge of fear

Always cold, never warm

Wrapped up in my coat it seems all year long

Never wanting to part from my jacket

Despite the persistent cries

From everyone sitting next to me inside




The highlight of this season

Has to be without hestitation

One of the most celebrated festivals of them all

Friends and family you hold so dear

Come together and spread the cheer

On this day of celebration

Everyone is full of love and admiration
