What I'll do when I bust out of here

What will I do when this is all done?

First and foremost, have some fun!

See friends and family, go out to eat,

Have a party - what a treat!

Hit the mall, check out the sales,

Let my credit card go off the rails.

Have my stylist do my hair,

Maybe go blond - do I dare?

Put on makeup, brush on blush,

Take my time, no need to rush.

Put my contacts in my eyes,

And hope I haven't gone up a size.

And I certainly need a mani/pedi -

My poor nails are more than ready.

Go to the library, yes, I'm a nerd.

Share the best jokes I've ever heard.

Take a vacation, go see a movie,

As they said in the '60s, that would be groovy.

Get the house cleaned, from bottom to top

As long asIdon't have to touch a mop,

Walk through town, pet a dog,

See my friends at synagogue.

Walk on the beach, sit in the sun,

Oh I can't wait till this is done!

I miss going to the store. I miss eating in restaurants and complaining about the service, food and cleanliness. ...
