“I’d like to take a nap after carrying a heavy load in this world.”

In this Haiku, Masaoka Shiki  expresses both the difficulty of enduring life’s challenges and the importance of stepping aside from these worries and finding a moment of rest. The simple wording brings a smile to the reader’s lips, and reminds us that a good sense of humor is always able to find respite in the face of great difficulties. 

世の中の　重荷おろして　昼寝かな

正岡子規の俳句
まあ、あれこれのこの世の雑用、煩雑はさておき
ちょいと昼寝でもしてしまおう
という子規のユーモアのセンスが読む人をクスリと笑わせる一句
