When you're curled up in bed because there's a knot in your stomach and you know for a fact that it's work that has done it
'who ya gonna call'?

Sleep but you have to wake
and take your medicine
and if there's no sugar?

see
Mary Poppins never reckoned on the cost of living,
what with jumping through pics on the pavement
she never once thought of a linament
and I find myself in
a **** Van **** of a predicament
dancing on taps while someone slaps me awake.

God
I ache
headache
backache
earache
think I'll
I'll take some time off.
