The contract is closing,

Only a week to go,

Mixed emotions ebb and flow,

My only concern is money.

Buy some bargains, buy at cost,

Only a week to go before the opportunity is lost,

Still don’t know my fate.

Mind you,

I’m looking forward to the long walks,

Also looking forward to the long talks,

To reading, writing, riding and that freedom that was lost,

My only concern is the money.

I’ll go to the brew

Wait in a queue,

Get judged by the pencil pusher minion,

Get the third degree and the rules,

No respect for us old fools.

Marking the days till the new phase,

Buy the flight, book the hotel,

Mind you packing the hoose up is going to be hell,
