An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Circadian Dysrhythmia
Circadian Dysrhythmia
Lying under a dreamworld of clover Feeling like I have been run over By yesterday’s supersonic jet But I am not dead yet Even though my eyes are firmly shut Inside my head lives a snoring walnut
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Wonderful little poem gave me a good chuckle. I don’t travel anymore, dear Ivor, but I’ve experienced enough jet lag to know the toll it takes. Eat, walk Frankie, and nap. Everything else can wait. 🥰
Cool plane photos!
Ha on your poem! 😀 Bestest poem on jet lag!
Ugh on jet lag. 😦
Drink lots of water. Rest. Eat. Sleep. Tend to Frankie. Everything else can wait until you are ready.
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️

Yes, jet lag is more than exhaustion. It takes your body a few days to adjust. Going forward or backwards in time disturbs its rhythm.
