Mental Day

"I'm taking a mental day;
I don't feel well."
                                          "There's no such thing
                                                as a mental day.
                                       Come in or you're fired!"
"I'm taking a mental day;
I don't feel well."
                                       "Did you see your doctor?
                                            do you have a note?"
"I'm taking a mental day;
I don't feel well."
                                            "I don't understand.
                                           do you have a fever?"
"I'm taking a mental day;
I don't feel well."
                                      "You just need some coffee;
                                              it'll wake you up!"
"I'm taking a mental day;
I don't feel well."
                                                 "You'll be fine.
                                           Just get it together."
"I'm taking a mental day;
I don't feel well.
I can't get it together,
coffee won't fix this.
I don't have a fever,
didn't need to see a doctor.
I'm taking a mental day,
for your sake as well as mine.

"If I come in today
I'll make a mess of everything.
I won't remember,
nothing will be important,
nothing will get done.

"I'm taking a mental day;
I don't feel well
and that's all you need to know."
