No work for four days, I had quite a lot ahead of me

Twas to be a weekend full of gaming, decorating and family.

Day one I snatched the gang and packed up the car.

We headed to my parents house which wasn’t too far.

We went with the promise of a Thanksgiving lunch.

With all of the trimmings, we ate quite a bunch.

We went home with sleepy kids who needed a nap

What do I want for dinner? I don’t think I can eat crap.

Day two was decorating the house for the season

On breaks I played Uncharted 2 for a great reason

They updated the game with models that looked like I felt

Doughnut Drake ate so much he had to buy a new belt

My wife went shopping for one last Xmas deal

She left me with the boy whose rear had a shitty feel

Day three was a trip to a place not for me

We went to the Bass Pro Shop, for Santa we’d see

While we waited for the fat man, the kids sure had fun

They played with slot cars, arcade games and toy guns

Suddenly my wife filled my face with such glee

Revealing that they had something there just for me

She pointed me in the direction and watched me fly like a dart

and pick up a Red Ryder BB gun. Watch your back Black Bart

Day four I swore to the lady I’d do nothing but play

Except for the usual dad stuff, I wanted gaming all day

I wound up making a trip to the store for decorations

My kids wanted some exterior holiday sensations

So gaming would wait until the kids went to bed

I should know from history it never matters what I’ve said.

My proclamation of gaming seems to have no authority

Over decorating things like the lawn, the house, or the tree.

End of day four and the house was all clean

The kids were in bed and my PC seemed to gleam

But tiredness set in after resting in my chair

Visions of gaming started to vanish into thin air

Then thoughts of work in the morning made me a bit surly

And after this busy weekend…..

I went to bed early.
