Oh What A Jest

Later on walking down Burleigh Street,
Tom of the Home Treatment Team walked by.
We chatted politely,
And I told him I needed to rest.
He wished he could do likewise,
And then wished me the best.

This did tickle me so,
If only he knew:
To me that was quite some jest!

For to me you see,
Life has been far from pleasent,
I don’t mean to go on...
So I’ve been writing this poem for too long!
