Alarm clock sleeping in
Saturday morning waits
Lazy minutes calling
Extra coffee’s first mate
Day’s blessed, empty page
Life’s agenda on pause
Batteries recharging
Kicking back, just because
Quiet morning moments
Coffee’s second cup smiles
Never stuck in traffic
Saturday’s endless miles
This truly special day
Sharing its own sunshine
Life’s gray clouds chased away
Loving each hour, so fine
Each week’s favorite time
Carefree pace never shifts
Energized spirit sings
Saturday shares its gifts
Making George big bucks
Entrepreneur Foreman—
Burger grilling time
Willingness to share
Bit of life’s sweet chocolate—
Frowns turn into smiles
Humbleness bears fruit
Together, tight as a fist—
Working as just one
