Poem
My appreciation Francis Crasto for allowing me to collaborate with you as your 'psychiatrist' on ‘A MAN UNDER STRESS’- A great sequel to your recent poem on your page ‘DIG DEEP’. Hello Francis, how are you today? Silly Question! A moment please, while I set this clock We charge by the hourly rate here You’re aware of that? Just checking ‘TESTY’ Breathe in...Out…in…out… Anytime you are ready dear Talking about clocks Doc …Hate them every morning Beep Beep Beep, another broken sleep Tick Tock, after a night of booze I hit the snooze on the darn clock. Wondering who I am at the tick of 3am Thinking I better get to work or I'll get docked a dime Can't wait till knock off time So I can grab some ‘grub’ and hit the Pub drink some booze and start rambling with the blokies Sink and lose after gambling on the pokies! It’s a bit dark in here Don’t mind me … just turning on this light Do carry on please Too many lights, I feel like fainting I just might with this picture I'm painting When I get home… I think where did it go? Ohhh! I've got a rough sore throat and vertigo Ears are itching, pain and stitching, as I'm thinking I'm getting old, I need a massage got a sore back Got an urge for my bowels to act! Do you think you can hold on a bit? Still goes on the clock you know I'm just a modern man under stress looking to indulge, just to forget I need a dozen cans and some hot wild sex Go to Kings Cross where there’s plenty of that Just to forget ~ just to forget Need to relax, just need a rest ~ but just can't sleep Feeling homicidal, feeling suicidal ~ emotions run deep Ohhh dear! My arm's gone to sleep! There, there …Not long now THANK YOU GOD! Feel the need to stretch my feet Just need a rest, but feel rough in the chest Body is burning and I'm thirsty with chills always working, but can't pay the bills A new day is dawning, but I'm still yawning Well… yes I can see that… Can someone lend me some money, so I can spend some money? I'd better earn some money, so I can burn some money I'm just a teary eyed joke with a fear of going broke! Just as well I ran your credit card through before you started the session Just need to relax a bit and take a laxative The cramping and spasms are prominent But all this aside I feel confident If I could just get past these impediments That's my plan, under duress Cause I'M A MAN UNDER STRESS! Indeed you are Francis This may take many sessions There’s that clock Thank you for your visit Same time next week? *Grub is slang for food or a meal
