Tuckered Out

My older self gets tuckered out
Before the night has started.
The energy I used to have
Has quietly departed.

And toss some jet lag in the mix,
Plus days a’broil and sunny,
Add extra-rich vacation food
And I’ll bet lots of money…

That I won’t make it through the day
(Since I’m opposed to napping),
Without a few espresso shots 
To boost my pep that’s sapping.
