Let's not go to work this morning

Every morning when I'm woken by my alarm
I flinch like the recuperating victim
of a rottweiler attack
so let's not go to work tomorrow
let's stay under our duvet
watch cartoons in our pyjamas

let's not go to work tomorrow
because I'm so bored of doing admin
I'm so bored of my computer
so let's not go to work tomorrow
let's go for a walk in the country
put our backpacks on both shoulders
we can take a picnic
chicken legs and M&Ms
drink red wine on a blanket

let's not go to work tomorrow
get the Eurostar to Paris
let's eat every meal in restaurants
steak for lunch and steak for dinner
eat ice cream in tall glasses
five scoops, different flavours

let's not go to work tomorrow
let's go to Alton Towers
or stay in and watch Fawlty Towers
the DVDs got previously unseen bloopers

let's not go to work tomorrow
let's go and see your sister's baby
our little nephew
let's go and buy him presents
the Hungry Caterpillar and Mr Men
while our bosses wonder where we are

let's phone in sick tomorrow
pretend we've got gastroentroitis
or tonsilitis
or chicken pox.
