Note: It was not a great day for me, and I needed to create this. I could explain everything that happened to be today, but I am going to let this poem get it all out. I think that I have reached my limit, and that I need to take a real break before I collapse and find myself a short-term shut in.
But until then...

Work through hot fatigue;
Traffic against me today...
Do I need Friday?
