Overworked Fred

Woken by a heavy knock on his door Late in the evening around half past four Tired Fred shouted loudly please just go away I need to rest up on my rostered off day. Come back later if with me you wish to speak As I have been working too hard all the week And I need at least a few more hours in bed Life is so hard on poor overworked Fred. He knows too well of the hardships of life And he works like a slave to finance his ex wife And their children to upkeep and huge bills to pay So he needs to rest up on his work free day. My ex wife has a lover he says with disgust And because of her women I cannot trust And I must pay her maintenance that doesn't seem fair If her lover man is not paying his own share. And worse for poor Fred he's burdened with the cross Of having to work for a demanding boss And with an ex wife to finance and children to upkeep on his rostered day off he would need extra sleep. Late in the evening around half past four And woken by a heavy knock on his door Tired Fred shouted loudly please just go away I need to rest up on my rostered off day.
