    Calling in Tired

    My back doesn’t hurt

    I don’t have a fever

    My car starts and goes just fine


    My stomach doesn’t churn

    I didn’t drink last night

    And my vertigo has yet to return


    I don’t have food poisoning

    From the lunch area slop

    I have no allergies at all


    All my family’s alive

    My dog didn’t die

    But my cat just had kittens


    My house didn’t burn down

    Or get flooded out

    In fact I just repainted

     

    Sir, I’m not coming to work today

    For the plain and simple reason

    After 12 hour shifts for 9 days straight

    I’m tired

    And I don’t care if you believe it!

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
