A Ballad in Memory of Furlough Fridays

And now....since tomorrow's our last furlough day, I am proud to announce the following song penned by our very own Candace Bebee! Feel free to sing along by clicking on the following karaoke link. It's set to the song, "To All the Girls..." by Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias.

To the all furlough days that have come and gone
Never before have I enjoyed getting up at dawn
All the errands, chores and trail rides taken….
It all made me forget I was bringing home less bacon
To the all furlough days that have come and gone

With no one working there were no emails piling up
I had so much fun spending time with my pups
Those 4 day work weeks were just so nice
Even though my checking account did pay a price
To the all furlough days that have come and gone

The work week’s changing and I am cryin….
No furlough Fridays come my way
At least my paycheck’s gonna be growin
Bye Hamburger Helper, hello filets

But the gift of time, there is really nothing like it
I enjoyed each day, every minute of it
If I could have a wish
It would be furloughs minus being impoverished
Oh furloughs you will now be gone...
