Relax

THE DOCTOR SAID,

“FOR YOUR WELLBEING AND HEALTH

I PRESCRIBE NOTHING LESS

THAN TO ELIMINATE TENSION

AND ELIMINATE STRESS”

I SAID “THANKS DOC,

THAT, I WILL TRY TO ACHIEVE

AND I KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE

IF I BELIEVE

I CAN.

I’VE BEEN AROUND,

I KNEW WHAT TO DO

JUST BUY ONE OF THOSE TAPES

THAT RELAXES YOU THROUGH.

INTO THE HEALTH SHOP,

MY MISSION WAS CLEAR

“A TAPE FOR RELAXING

DO YOU HAVE ONE, MY DEAR”

SHE SAID

“DON’T, MY DEAR, ME

I’VE HAD A HELL OF A DAY

WITH THE REGISTER BROKEN

AND THE BOSS GONE AWAY.

THE SOYA MILK’S SOUR,

THE ORDERS ARE LATE

AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE

THE VEGEBURGERS ARE OUT OF DATE”

“O WELL, A TAPE WAS IT,

YES THERE’S SOME OVER THERE

THE ONE PLAYING JUST NOW

IS THE ONE I LOVE TO HEAR.”

“I FIND IT RELAXING

IT WIPES ALL CARES AWAY

SOOTHES MY NERVOUS TENSION

BY NIGHT OR BY DAY.”

“THAT’S 8.99,

O BLOODY HELL

THIS BLEEDIN’ TILL IS CHRONIC.”

I SAID

“NEVER MIND

WHERE’S THE NEAREST PUB?

I’LL SETTLE FOR A GIN AND TONIC.”
