Staff room rant

Rescue Remedy?

Musings in the staffroom. A pantoum, for Nicola.

This day has been dreadfully long
My head hurts, I'm tired as can be
There are so many things going wrong
I wonder, can YOU rescue me?

My head hurts, I'm tired as can be
I've had such a horrible week
I wonder, can you rescue me?
Dear choc'lates, let me take a peek!

I've had such a horrible week
There's only one thing that will work
Dear choc'lates, let me take a peek
I promise you that I won't smirk

There's only one thing that will work
It's choc'late and truffles and fudge
I promise you that I will smirk
If I spot any candy or nuts.

It's choc'late and truffles and fudge
Vanilla and ginger and mint
If I spot any candy or nuts
I'll scoff them as fast as you blink.

Vanilla and ginger and mint
The answer to so many ills
I'll scoff them as fast as you blink
Instead of those potions and pills.

The answer to so many ills
'Cos this day has been dreadfully long
Instead of those potions and pills
It’s chocolate stops things going wrong.
