Shooed the bug away, realizing too late
It's a ladybug, real life is exhausting 
White pickup truck, moving slow revved powerfully,
Trying to create strife is exhausting
Joy from youthful bubble chasers challenging
The rainbow globes half-life is exhausting 
Black pickup follows the white, slowly, other direction
Still looking for wildlife is exhausting 
Many chats, introducing folks, connecting the dots 
All good work, improving our whole life is exhausting 
Painting Venus, in shaded tent, renders the gazebo
Prideful colored as still life is exhausting
Ladybug returns, that must be telling you something Sherlock 
You know reporting on good life is exhausting
