One of Those Days (A Poem)

Tweet

One of those days Where everything went wrong Made for a very Distressed song. Alarm didn't go off. My hair was a mess. It looked like it was inhabited By birds in a nest. The eggs were too watery. The bagel was as hard as a rock. And my blueberry pancakes Had the flavor of a sock. The car wouldn't start. My battery was dead. And I walked into a wall And bumped my head. My boss said, "You are late to work." He made me feel like a king sized jerk. The copier jammed. The coffee spilled on my pants. And the wicked old witch Said a raise, "Not a chance." My fiscal report Was due tomorrow. I hadn't begun working on it Much to my sorrow. Finally, I got home. The dinner was cold, And I felt very, very old. My nose was runny, My cough came back. And I was afraid I'd have A heart attack. Yes, this was a day That was made in hell. Don't bother me tonight. I plan to sleep well. Well actually that's not true, But frankly i'm tired of singing the blues.
