January Blues

Wish the end of January was near 

It is the longest month of the year

Already raided my piggy bank

Saw my bank balance, my heart just sank 

Petrol needed in my car

My leg’s won’t take me very far

What shall we have for tea tonight 

I wonder if the freezer has any delights 

Hurry up payday, please arrive 

Not sure my sanity will survive 

Slowly counting down each day

For when I get my monthly pay

Then happy I shall be

Until another January I do see.
