Workin'Woman Blues

Aching feet
Legs feel like sticks
Back and shoulders 
Need a fix.

Hands arthritic,
Can't take the cold
Workin' too hard
And gettin' old.

Too tired body
Depletes my mind
Devastated by
The daily grind

Here comes Thursday
Friday's best
Thankful for
A weekend rest.

I like this. The simplicity of it provides the poem with a sense of pathos. The rhyme structure is spot on and well constructed. the obvious rhymes ('mind' - 'grind', 'cold' - 'old') may seem cliche but I think that the cliches are given a new leash of life in this poem. The title is great and understates the meloc feel of the poem.
