Breaking Down
This morning our computer died;
Our car won’t start as well.
The bathroom sink was clogged last month;
Our hand-washed towels smell.
The pipe beneath the kitchen sink
Had water shooting out.
A total breakdown seems to be
What life is all about.
The super fixed the pipe; tomorrow
We’ll call Triple-A
And hopefully a jump will make
The battery obey.
We ordered a computer.
(Ours was really kind of old.)
The bathroom drain’s all clear
From something Amazon extolled.
For one thing I am grateful -
With our car and P.C. dead,
I have to thank my lucky stars
It isn’t us instead.
