Don'T Even Ask: Collaboration With Daniel Turner

Have you ever had one of those days On the wrong side of the bed, bad days When everything right went wrong Cause the ding had lost it's dong Ouch, Mr. Sun came peeking in Up from bed and banged your shin Leaky, full toilet overflowed Damn, you stubbed your other big toe Times like this: don't you love those days Hardly anything seems to go your way? Is little Johnnie turning green Splat! Is that doggie ice cream? Gas oven took a dump Everyone’s oatmeal was in clumps The kids were late AGAIN for school Wasn’t that traffic cop a tool? Oh, you should've just stayed in bed! Rolled back over and called in dead… Shoot! An hour late for work Emptied Starbucks on your shirt Dare you ask how this could get worse? Others think you're such a jerk. Next, the boss comes barging in Tells you,"Look for work again" Everything was going wrong Vacation's gonna be a little long Even your wife’s rope is at an end Now she says, "Let's just be friends" An asteroid fell from the skies Smashed the beer between the thighs Kick yourself for getting out of bed 3/24/16 Collaboration with Daniel Turner
