Work is overflowing

With bits and bobs to do.

I don’t know how I’ll ever

See it all through.

I wake up in the morning

With lists on my mind,

Eating my breakfast,

Aware of how much I’m behind.

I start on one job

And another soon appears,

Feels like I am constantly

Swimming in arrears.

Hurry up summer holidays

And make it go away,

I’ve had as much as I can take,

I really want to play.
