THE LOST WEEKEND


from the ABC set A WORKING LIFE

Oh what calamity did befall?
What an embarrassment for us all
We over imbibed on Saturday night
And awoke on Sunday none to bright
On the porch the paper lay unread
We couldn’t face it and went back to bed
So next morning, which was Monday
We found the paper and thought it was Sunday
So we had a relaxing fun day
Not realizing it was really Monday
On Tuesday when I returned to work
I really felt a proper berk
My boss had a true blue fit
And saw no humour at all in it
And verbally assailed me with his rancour
Then he called me a total fool
