Today, I’m feeling really tired.
The couch is where I’m an inhabitant.
Ughh, I’m afraid I’m about expired.

So, right now, I’m definitely uninspired
and find any work exorbitant.
Today, I’m feeling really tired.
…
Being busy definitely backfired.
My cat has her paw in my houseplant.
Ughh, I’m afraid I’m about expired.
…
While I’m still trying to get hired,
it’s momentarily insignificant.
Today, I’m feeling really tired.

I can’t wait until I’m retired —
“Hey, Midnight!” That cat is vigilant!
Ughh, I’m afraid I’m about expired.
…
Tomorrow, I will work as required.
But, I need days like this, unrepentant.
Today, I’m feeling really tired.
Ughh, I’m afraid I’m about expired.
