Stress Poem by Liza Sud

Stress

Kate, do you want a vacation?
If you want, of course, go.
And Liza one day in danger -
I will not give to her.

Liza - let her burn out
on the second of month!
But let Kate get relaxant,
'yes' to her - I reply!

We will be lenient towards her:
On the third she may come.
Young parents are so,
so nervous sometimes.

She is evoking sympathy:
posting it all on-line.
And it is stronger than winning
Flows of her lie.

We will close, as usual.
all will be good for us.
And Liza's nerves dissolution
is seen by noone.

Ribbons in white strasses,
Happy - in family circle.
With Princesses on analyses
We will have common roads.

***

Катя, ты хочешь в отпуск?
Хочешь - конечно, иди.
А Лизе один день грозно
к отпуску не найти.

Лиза пусть выгорает
в запаре второго числа!
А Катя пусть отдыхает,
я ей отвечаю: да!

Будем к ней снисходительны:
пусть третьего выйдет она.
Молодые родители -
нервные иногда.

Она вызывает симпатию:
все проводит он-лайн.
и это сильней обаятельных
потоков ее вранья.

Закроемся, как обычно.
все у нас хорошо.
а Лизиных нервных срывов
здесь не видит никто.

Ленточки в белых стразиках,
счастье - в кругу семьи.
с Принцессами на анализах
нам будет по пути!

You have two colleagues who are stressed out: Kate and Liza. You're very sympathetic to Kate's plight, not to Liza's. Is Liza stressed out because she recently gave birth to a baby? Am I right in concluding she has complained too much, using up all your sympathy? It seems you are an arbitrator, smoothing things out, bringing some semblance of peace back.
