I need to take a cold shower,
My tiredness beginning to show.
Then I'll be right as rain,
Refreshed and raring to go.
It's been a long arduous day,
Work commitments so demanding.
I'm so tired...
Oh! Snap out of it Shaun,
Man up and show some grit.
Only one long day in work,
And you throw a girlie fit.
Listen close to what I say,
Real men work down the mines.
And many others pay the price,
In deadly NHS frontline's.
So get your act together,
Enough of the 'oh woe is me'.
Fire and brimstone's needed,
Not your poem of sad irony.
A beautifully crafted and conveyed poem that depicts a fact of life. Sometimes the demands of work and other intricacies of life wear us down. .Thank you, Shaun for reminding through this poem that there are many people who work more than we do risking their own life and never we heard a sigh nor complaint. An insightful poem excellently penned. Onto my Poem List.
Thank you Missy for your kind and generous comments. Take care and a cold shower has a little more bite-back than a warm one.

Great poem Shaun...we all experience THAT feeling at times, but you are so right to put it all into perspective. Anyway, it's a very tiring, but worth it in the end ten from me!
