We-Haul-It

Tired, fatigued, done in, worn out.
Muscles mention that although
intentions yesterday were nobly
elevated, being a good helpmate
(or helpmeet, if you prefer) and
moving boxes by the dozen
in the heat, they're quite irritated
that I overworked them,
loudest in the lot being from the
back. We're beat! Bone-tired!
Burned-out. Without a mind to
all that's left for us to do, they
fuss and whine, forgetting that in families,
we all pitch in, so quitcherbitchin,'
Time to take another load.
