Story of my month (6)

In horrible meeting, my mind drifts far away
To a wonderful time when my boys were younger
On the beach in sunshine, playing till past hunger
As family picnic in vacation leeway

Seeing the Disney mouse, and all the attractions
With the kids excited and bouncing all around
Their faces brimming joy, and running through the ground
As the adults feel young with all this World's actions

This slight distraction smile made this meet bearable
Making silence thoughtful when responding demand
And changed my whole outlook to daydreaming of sand

Getting a new contract with terms comparable
Pleasing my bosses gold and feeling proud of work
With my head held up high, my smile became a smirk
