Waiting for the weekend

Somehow can’t wait for the weekend to begin.Perhaps reading this poem triggered it.

“A Drinking Song” by Yeats:

 

WINE comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
