Jet Lag

When you’ve traveled afar
And you make your way home,
You are physically back
But your brain’s set on “roam.”

And you can’t quite adjust
Though you’ve reset your watch;
You’re exhausted and can’t
Kick things up – not a notch.

You feel foggy and act
Like you’re slogging through mud;
Seems like someone has sucked
All the life from your blood.

It’ll take a few days
‘Til your pep has returned;
Then you’ll be good as new –
This is one thing I’ve learned.

When fatigue has released you
From its greedy grip,
It’s time to start planning
Your next far-off trip.
