I was feeling boxed in,
And had to get out;
My day was so bad,
I wanted to shout.
The kids were misbehaving,
The cat pooped on the floor;
My spouse was inattentive,
And the cops were at my door.
They said I had to find,
A way to shush the dog;
The neighbors were complaining,
Saying, I should own a frog.
Just then, the phone rang;
And in my heart I knew;
Twas yet another bill collector,
Trying to get his due.
My in-laws were coming for dinner,
And I had burned the meal;
Another reason for them to think,
That I was less than ideal.
The TV cable went out again;
The toilet overflowed;
The basement flooded
'Cause the pump was shot;
The floors all warped and bowed.
Just then the freezer quit,
Spoiling all the food;
And the headache that I got
Did nothing to help my mood.
I went out for a movie,
Just to get away;
But the show was sold out;
Adding more to my lousy day.
I drove over to the local pub,
To get myself a drink;
But when it slipped
And spilled into my lap,
I knew I had to re-think.
I decided it might be best,
If I just go on home;
But when I got there,
What a surprise;
My kids were not alone.
The house was in shambles,
The kids tried to make amends;
They'd thrown a party
While I was gone, And invited all their friends.
I couldn't face anymore today,
So I went online instead;
But when I got that familiar boot,
I decided to go to bed !
So if you think your day is bad;
Remember these words, my friend;
Someone else may have it worse;
So it's not so bad in the end!
Have a great day!!
