    (To the tune of Sweet Caroline written and recorded by Neil Diamond (1969).)

    When I awake
    Although it may be Monday
    I feel like it’s still Sunday
    Here in my chair.

    And when I feel
    That I deserve a break I’m
    Stepping outside to take time
    To breath in suburban air

    Office in Home
    In my PJs, not a suit
    Love staying home
    No morning rush and no commute

    I know that
    I can deduct
    Some of my cost of living
    A gift the Tax Code’s giving me

    I realize
    Cause I’m not itemizing
    I’m utilizing
    Schedule C.

    Office in Home
    In my PJs, not a suit,
    Love staying home
    No morning rush and no commute.
