Work Early…


 


Going to work early,


Doesn’t make me surly,


Think of the extra bucks,


But Rufuz does think it sucks…


 


Turned to be a long day,


Tired though I was,


Even coffee, and a beautiful day,


Did little to make me happy or allay,


Needing I did more sleep, so tired was I, just wanted to lay…


 


Upon arriving home, I did go to bed, post haste,


Had to eat first of course, so I did add to my waist,


Usually does take a few days to counteract the effects,


Of a bad nights sleep so by Thursday I should be better,


Just in time for that day off, a holiday, sleeping late, my sleep can be replaced…

Okay Ed being retired means I get re tired every day but I can relate to this one since I worked far more than I slept in those days.

Ready for Thanksgiving dinner that will make you tired for the next few days :-) For Canadians it is time to remember our soldiers. Enjoy your rest.
