Stressed from the day
Head pounding like a gong
Trying to do shift change
Trudging thru’ traffic’s throng
Today wasn’t enough staff
Calls mounted on the CAD
Ambulance was a sauna
Way too many charts to add
No appreciation or help
From management above
Strapped with substandard tools
To perform the best job thereof
And dare to complain
You’ve got a better chance in Hell
Just lucky the truck didn’t die
N weren’t killed by fume’s smell
Finally made the base
Just as the arrest’s broadcast
Lucky your replacement’s there
Keys throw, torch is passed
Finally homeward bound
Escape to my utopian lair
To shed all burdens
Relaxation my only cup to bear
I pour a cold concoction
That no stress nor worry can impasse
A wonderous chilled substance
Serenity in a glass
Showered and changed
Feet up and reclining in my chair
I’m starting to finally unwind
My soul and body to repair
