Absence

I guess you could say

I’ve been in mourning

With no desire to see

Yet another day dawning

And despite me trying

To relieve this burden

It would only be lying

To say my future is certain

Calling In Sick

I'm feeling down
And full of dread 
I can't come in 
I'm staying in bed

Absence doesn’t make
The heart grow fonder

We just start to yearn
For what’s over yonder

And so we’re presented
With a question to ponder

Exactly which opportunity
Should we squander?

Absence

He said

Makes the heart grow fonder

And telling lies

She said

Makes your nose grow longer
