‘Twas the night before Monday,

The holiday’s end,

And the workers had finished

Their Black Friday spend.

Their cars were all parked

With their windshields frosted

And bellies were bulging

From turkeys accosted.

When all of a sudden

There came such a clatter

And the bosses were shocked,

Asking what was the matter

That caused half the workers

To all call in sick.

Was it coincident timing

Or some type of trick?

So the managers dialed

A flurry of phones

And said, “Hey how are you”

In indifferent tones

Before they proceeded

With the meat of their call:

“You must come in tomorrow

“Or not come back at all.”

And so all the workers

With debt growing daily

Said “Sure, see you Monday”

While giggling gaily.

Then the bosses drove off

To their villas, inspired.

Merry Monday to all!

Get to work or you’re fired!
