Too Tired

I am so tired tonight My eyes are barely open I've nodded off in my chair Dropped my cup and now it's broken But... its only seven pm It's far too early to go to bed So I sit here half comatose And pretend to read instead I simply don't have the energy I'm feeling so uninspired I think my get up and go Has totally expired I am not an early bird But nor am I a night owl I am somewhere in the in-between A half awake and sleepy fowl I know I should help you with the dishes Even though I'm feeling shattered I'd love to help you but I can't... Cause I'm absolutely knackered

You’ve just described my early evenings. Frustrating thing is I’m wide awake when I go to bed. Nice one.

Thanks Terry :) Isn't that the truth! There must be a good poem to write about that methinks :)

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, as Moe, Larry, and Curly used to say. 'Knackered,' eh?!... I myself feel rather Crackered! ~ Touche!

Ha! I can do relate to this, Julie! I love the “get up and go” line…
