Damn Routine
Every day, it’s the same damn routine,
so monotonous that it’s obscene.
Time, however, estranges.
When my damn routine changes,
I shall miss it. You know what I mean.

Trying Like Hell
“I try like hell to get things right!”
“And that is, lad, where you go wrong:
you need to fight the urge to fight!”
“I try like hell. To get things right
is the goal that I keep in sight
whether I’m feeling weak or strong.
I try like hell to get things right!”
“And that is, lad, where you go wrong!”
–Tom Riley
Onto Weary Feet
Once again onto long-weary feet
have I struggled — and, facing the heat,
now I try to stay cool.
Does it hurt? As a rule,
it just makes me feel, well, incomplete….
