Practice for Monday

I’m tired, dizzy,

Nauseous, weak.

I cannot smell.

It hurts to speak.

I cannot walk.

I long to die!

I can’t go to work

Nor (God forbid) lie.

A Slight Exaggeration, But Still Pretty Darn Dedicated

I spent the morning puking

Than had a headache linger

Then had a crazy workday

As life gave me the finger.

And as my eyes began to bleed

And all my hair turned gray

All I worried about was if

I wrote a travesty yesterday.

Don’t Worry: None Of This Crap Is True (Except the Punchline)

My bones ache,

My pores burn,

My very innards

Are a’ churn.

Exhaustion sets

My hair ablaze.

I do approach

The end of days.

I’m dehydrated

As I ask you

Why wouldn’t I

Stay up ’til 2:00?
