Exhaustion

Exhaustion! You clutch at every sinew of my soul,

Straining, aching, struggling to go on,

Humour is lacking, the glass is not full,

Fighting a battle, never to be won.


But low and behold what cure is before me?

I recall what my Nan used to say,

Advising me strongly on how to live life,

Ticking me off in her usual way:


"Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise!"


Life is so busy , tired are we all,

So remember dear granny's words oh so wise,

Sleep is the medicine to cure modern ills,

In slumber the solution to all trouble lies.
