(A facile comment when life's grey)
Some friends have issues that are fraught
While others, stressed, are overwrought.
Jobs for life? Don't make me laugh
Recession cuts our hopes in half
Damp air leads to aches and pains
And Depression when it rains...
Poor diet choice – we pile on weight
Traffic chaos, we come late
Impossible to make up time
So much work to do – online!
What makes it worse is non-stop news
Who can a Smart phone buzz refuse?
We bite off more than we can chew
At day's end we are quite worn through.
Where's «peace» and «calm» and «letting go»?
24/7 we're on show
Like coiled-up springs we do our best
But sometimes it is good – to rest!
