Work Cycle
Its been a long day
I just want to go home
And relax
Kick my shoes off
Fall into bed
Only to rest
Not to sleep
Just to ease
The aches and pains
Maybe watch a movie
Eat a decent meal
Something for me
As a reward
For being so great
It would be nice
If that could go on
Life doesn’t work that way
If you want good things
You have to work for them
Or be rich
You work until you retire
Then you can relax
Forever
But for now
Tomorrow is another day.
About this poem
I was feeling extra tired this evening. I don't even work, I'm retired, but for some reason I was just out of it this evening.
