Butterfly Stroke


"My name is Louis Mercier 
I'm a recovering workaholic"

Warning tingles in my left arm awoke
I'm too young and smart for a stroke
Enslaved to a walking cane ain't no joke
Already addicted to eyewear like Coke
For an overtime dollar I won't go broke
A precious life almost gone up in smoke
60 hours plus on my feet almost choke
"Am I impressing you?" a though to evoke
My Best friend forever send me a poke
The heart said: "sleep is chicken feed for yolk"

-- Louis Mercier
