Back to school blues….

Early morning indigestion

Motorway congestion

Students fully of germs and bugs

Too much work and brain fug

 

Brow burns

Streaming snot

Sore throat

Head hot

 

Wake up feeling dreadful

First cold of the season

Grateful it is weekend

And I don’t have to pretend or reason

 

With unruly students, pesky pests,

Procrastinators, sharp-cornered desks

Eager beavers and teacher pleasers.

Sat in bed instead with TV and Maltesers.

 

Pass the tissues, please. XXX

Fire burns at back of throat

I’ve got the lot
