The first time I read this as a lover someone has only on weekends and that it's actually work to sustain the relationship and I thought to myself, "Self, if a lover ever causes you to need Tums, find a new one". The next time through I felt it as someone who loves weekends for the "rest" it brings and thought to myself, "Self, if you ever need Tums after a weekend, find a maid". Thanks for leading me down these roads and deciding I need a housecleaner, and a new lover. That will be much better overall. Then I can just play! As ever, Joyce, your writing brings out wonderful feelings.

Oh, and you never did answer about the hot dogs. Talk about needing Tums! LOL!!

Like Justin, I thought the poem was going to be about someone who makes love only on the weekends. When I realized it was about looking forward to weekends, only to realize they hold as much work and stress as weekdays, I laughed! This one is very cute, with its double entendre. -- MS
