WHY are we scared of the Night ?
PERHAPS because we can\'t sleep
BECAUSE the pressures of the Day
ARE still with us ! We long to rise
REFRESHED in the New Day ~ with all
OUR problems Solved ~ Sorted ~ Settled
BUT ~ when the Morning dawns ~ We rise
REFRESHED ready to face a New Day !
BUT ~ The same brooding Brood ~ round the
BREAKFAST TABLE ~ The same stressful
DRIVE to Work ~ Same Colleagues ~ ready
TO MAKE your Day ~ less enjoyable !
PICTURE of the Average Working Man
NOW HAS TO WORK \'TIL SEVENTY !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ JOY to ALL ~ BRIAN
Let me reassure you that this is not my fate ! Most days
I eat my \"soft boiled egg\" alone and talk to my tropical
fish ~ and TANGS always smile back ! I can walk or cycle
to work (20 minutes) and my colleagues support me 100%
and I them ! I\'m far too Young to even think about retiring
~ I teach in a 16+ College. I do also appreciate that most
Ladies have to work as well ~ OK ~ How was your DAY ?
