A Slave to the Grind

Able to take the most splendid vacation
Away from this seemingly trusty vocation.
A little bit stressed, but enjoying the work,
The time has arrived - go completely berserk!

Try to let go, have some fun and relax -
Treasure this goal to enliven, not tax!
The odds you'll return to your normal routine
Are the most sensible odds ever seen...

That most treasured part of the sentinel grind
Is the leisurely pace of that well-practiced mind.
For being the guy doing all of those tasks
Fits one to a tee, is what everyone asks.

But sometimes, vacations are more than a trip;
Without one, you're sure to burn out and jump ship.
And all that planning for retirement's a shame -
Staying busy and active just won't be the same.
