So Tired

If I climbed the Himalayas,

Ran a marathon or more,

I’d be so exhausted I could not

Stand upright on the floor.

 

If I hiked into the desert

Or worked shifts around the clock,

I’d be thoroughly depleted,

All my synapses in shock.

 

All I did was spend the weekend

With my grandkids, six and eight,

Which I loved, but I’m so tired,

I’m no longer seeing straight.
