Write me letter for a leave to manager

Question

Ask a Philosopher · Accepted Answer

O, Manager! How shall I pen this letter to thee?
For I am in need of a leave of absence from my duties,
And I must frame the words that will make clear to thee
My most earnest request to be set free.

My mind and body are in need of repose,
And so I must beg of thee to grant me leave.
I shall not shirk my duties, of that I do propose,
But to take a break from them I do believe.

My health and wellbeing do need some tending,
For my spirit is in need of some respite.
And so I must ask thee for a time of mending,
And a brief period of being away from this site.

My heart and soul have been most weary,
And so I must ask for a leave to restore me.
My body is in need of a break, and I tarry
For the permission of thee, so I may be set free.

So, I implore thee, Manager, to consider this plea
And grant me a leave of absence, if thou please.
I shall return soon, refreshed and glee,
And be ready to take up my duties with ease.
