In case anyone is wondering
it's the washing machine humming
and not me.

I dunno
work my fingers to the bone
get home
and work some more
anyway
what good are fingers for?
I'll do without them.

I hear the words,
'you miserable ***'
and sit up to take notice

it can't be me that they're meaning
surely not.

I've got a sunny disposition
although the doctor did say,
that it'll fade with age.

Tuesday done
and
I'm done to a turn
it'll probably be
an about turn and
back to where I started.
