The Great Escape

Creative Writing - Poetry - Winging It!

by Marie Lundgren

Marie Lundgren.

I'm poor and tired,
sore and required
to be at work every day
to pay my bills on the way
A great big smile on my face
everything in it's place
Sometimes I think "Screw it!"
I'm young and I need more
more fun
     more sun
          more free time
               more me time
                     more money
                           more lovin'
This rut is not for me
So I pack my car and I'm off alone
cruising along in the great unknown
Hasta la vista everyone
I'm winging it!
I'm taking whatever comes my way!
Friday
      Saturday
          Sunday
But Monday always comes back
and I'm back with the pack
Punching the time clock
writing the checks
dreaming of my next flight.
