Sorry, Mr. Washington

It’s Presidents’ Day weekend, but I’m working Monday morn.
I didn’t choose to do that out of any kind of scorn.
I simply have some tasks to do that start and end that day.
They might just last all afternoon before I go away.
Besides, I’m apprehensive when it comes to PTO.
My job has gotten less secure; I want my boss to know
That I can be relied upon when others aren’t around,
So work on minor holidays seems positively sound.
