Love Poem: I Hate Memorial Day

I Hate Memorial Day

Hot Dogs, beer 
and long warm nights
Indigestion, too much booze
Lead to front yard fights

Days at the river
Lying on the beach
Sand everywhere
Places I can't reach

Camping or hiking
Walking or biking
All that exercise
Is not to my liking

Sun high in the sky
Early sunrise
I can't get any sleep
These things I despise

Wait, we get Monday off
Is that what you say?
I've changed my mind 
I love Memorial Day
