I got the pink slip as they say

Unemployed as of today

I know not what my wife will say

About being unemployed today.

My wife was not shocked at all

Even though no one did call

She did not think it was a fall

To be unemployed today.

“You hate that job,” she said to me

It had a measly salary

“It means more time for you and me.

Being unemployed today.”

My wife was right about everything

My life had zip. My life had zing.

A new business was the thing

About being unemployed that day.

So if life gives lemons to you

Here is the thing that you should do

Do much more than just make due

Open a lemonade stand today.
