Today’s main chores
To exercise and go to work
But a challenge came up
In the form of a nasty head cold,
Such a runny nose!
Unknown in recent memory,
No over-the-counter medicinal tricks
Could stop this tap form leaking,
Every remedy tried
Just created more frustration,
More tissues gone through
Than at an allergy suffers convention;
Holding a tissue
Under my nose
Throughout my shift
Did not enhance my experience
But I got through it somehow
And completed my tasks,
Gratefully heading home
To rest up for tomorrow’s jobs.
Such fatigue
From such small inconvenience
Seems incredible!
What a silly scene;
Readying a few items for the morning
And taking time
For loving-kindness practice,
To ease discomfort and soften the heart;
Snuffling away
As I prepare for bed
Relieved to be at home
And able to relax.
