ACHES & PAINS

What’s for dinner?

<><><>

<><><>

I’m home from work,

My muscles ache.

My back is sore,

Fatigued to the core.

<><><>

I want some tea –

Please, let me be!

I need to unwind

And relax my mind.

<><><>

He’s on the couch,

Watching TV.

He clicks on “pause”

And looks at me.

<><><>

Ya gotta love him!

He’s such a winner,

Especially when I hear,

“Hi hon. What’s for dinner?”
