Overworked Poems

Abused and Overworked

If there is one piece in the whole world that works more than any other,
that works more than a machine, and that works more than the most
hard working type in the eastern and western hemisphere combined!!
It is the HANDS of ANY, ONE, PARTICULAR, PERSON.

The hands of humanity are among the most abused pieces in history.

Overworked

When Covid began I became a workaholic 
No time to dally, no time to frolic 
At work before the sun has a chance to rise
Coming home long after stars dazzle the skies

Three days off in a month leaves little time
Taxman will be happy I'm working overtime 
Workload is temporary it will surely descend 
Will buy RRSP's to avoid paying at years

Overworked Witches

What's a single mom, overworked witch to do?
School potlucks won't suck up fat vats of witch brew
Green goop soup disinfects science projects

Your warlock son mocks the jocks with dark pranks
Your daughter barters love potions, your cat's a Clydesdale
Your cauldron is maudlin; no time for

and then I was dead

Overworked Santa

Santa Claus was in need of a rest
His thick costume he yearned to divest
Work was taking its toll
Getting out of control
He was feeling hard pressed and depressed.

Santa Claus hurried on back to base
His reindeer he gave freedom to graze
Santa got some shut-eye
The Pied Piper came by
The reindeer disappeared without trace.

A variation of 2nd stanza

Overworked

put down your pen,  and have a little rest,
as to much writing,  can ruin the best,
if it takes to long,  to write a little song,
all the best bits,  will soon be gone,
think of the words you want to say,
then write them down, write them  straight away,
these words of mind come

Overworked and Underpaid

As i awake with the sound of my alarm clock signal for another day. I get myself ready for 
my overworked job in which i don't get enough pay.
Its not long before i pull myself together and get in to my car, and set off for a few mile's 
down the road, it isn't very
