In a bun dance

Saturday song – 100 words

January 14, 2023 By Ellen

Saturday song

The trouble with tired

is that, in theory, it’s perfectly natural:

we are only meat and ideas and electricity

and need our rest as much as our tea and cake.

But often, the little weary voice

‘I’m knackered, leave me be’

is drowned by the drum thumps of needs-to-be-done

and the shrieking hullabaloo of days to be seized.

Prod yourself onwards because

no one, they say, come the reckoning,

will wish they spent longer in bed.

If I wasn’t exhausted by all of things,

I might start a campaign to

make resting the very latest must-do trend

#sitonyourarse #justdon’tdoit.
