What A Day
I got me up this morning feeling chipper as could be,
wanted strong hot coffee, had to settle for some tea.
Started in to fill my day so I wouldn't have to rush,'
First I'd get the laundry done and then I'd need to dust,
The phone started ringing ,a bang at the back door,
I knocked over my cup of tea and it ran all over the floor .
The phone was a wrong number-this always gives me a fit ,
slipped in the tea I spilled and on my seat I sit .
The darn dog started barking, I knew he had to go,
I'd get the laundry started first-then take him for a stroll.
I heard a clap of thunder and lighting filled the sky ,
I said , Dear Saints preserve us " and ask " Why Father Why?:
I grabbed the leach and called " Here Bim" Lets get going while we can,
I glanced at the kitchen clock it said ten to ten .
Bim dragged me down the road sniffing here and there ,
I got upset and yelled at him " can't you go just any where " ?
The wind had started blowing hard, the sky turned awfully black .
I grabbed up Bim and turned around -I wanted to get back .
The screen door was swinging open and rain came pouring in,
I put Bim out on the back porch and I swear he gave me grin .
The washing machine was bumping and there were soap suds everywhere,
I couldn't laugh -nor could I cry -I just stood and pulled my hair .
I started out to get the mop to clean up this awful mess,
Caught my self upon a nail and tore my brand new dress.
No one should have a day like this -to me it`s just a sin ,
I think I'll put me back to bed and get me up again .
