5423 - Feeling tired

It seems that we’re all feeling tired today 
Me, my Mum and the carer, all of us
The carer said it’s the humidity 
That makes us sleepy, achey and listless 
My shoulders and arms have felt less and less
Normal, though it’s not painful, they don’t feel 
As strong as they should when subject to stress
Meanwhile, Mum spent the whole day in a real 
Stupor in her chair, oblivious to all
But woke if I stood up and went away 
Into the kitchen or if the carers
Knocked and came in. She was achey as well 
Last night she didn’t sleep well and she lay
Legs dangling, uncovered and cold, ah bless!
