Friday Afternoon

It’s so cold here
And my home calls
So I leave a little early
Is that such a crime?

I do have a real life
One that is warm;
I really must go now
To make up for lost time

My house is empty,
My kittens are alone,
I’ve given my life here,
Now this time is mine

To do with as I wish,
To spend time with myself,
And with my precious kittens,
To rejuvenate my mind.

So out of here I am,
Escape is my good plan,
I’ve left a little early,
And now some peace I find.
