Tired

by Richard S   Nov 7, 2006


So tired these days.
Working too hard I guess.
More likely to make mistakes.
More likely to hurt myself.

More likely to hurt others,
By deed or by word.
Be careful.
I am worth it.

You are worth it.
Don't need me dead.
The insurance is good though.
Will that be my legacy?

I'd rather be around.
I'd rather collect a smile from you,
At the end of the day.
Not just a bonus.

You would make a pretty widow.
A rich widow.
Be sure to have a less tired guy,
To help you spend the money.
