| Anyone ever been responsible for organising a wedding (and no, the first line is just poetic licence - I'm definitely not a religious person)..? Stress
Lord, grant this prayer,
That I might find
Some moment rare
Some peace of mind.
It's bad enough
To think I've got
All brain cells duff,
All nerve cells shot.
But now I see
The price to pay -
Insanity's
A step away.
Had I the choice
I'd like to change -
Falsetto voice!
It sounds quite strange.
It's just a sign
I'm not on track -
This brain of mine's
About to crack!
A parlous state -
I'm on the brink.
A horrid fate;
No power to think.
I'm done for, sunk;
I'm up the spout..!
... Oh no, I'm not...
I'm just stressed out!

| Rowan I liked you humourous look at Stress and I think this is worthy of Poem of the Week. We have all been there and know just what you are talking about. I enjoyed this. _________________ |

In all likelihood.
Shall we just say that it will break no records on length..?!
Actually I wrote this one years ago in respect of an entirely different situation but it seems fairly relevant at the moment... |
