Having a Bad Day
You’re Having a Bad Day
Don’t scream and shout and pull your hair out
And don’t shed a tear for that bothers me dear
I’ll pick up the cat, put her in the back yard
Take the dog for a walk as that isn’t that hard
The house will be quiet; lie down; take a nap
Close your eyes; dream a dream without all of this crap
And when I get back from walking the pup
I’ll come in real quiet so I don’t wake you up
And I’ll let you sleep cause I know it’s enrichin’
Till about 6 o’clock, then it’s back to the kitchen
Back to the cooking, the cleaning, the scrubbin’
Till it’s time that you give me my nightly foot rubbin’
When the cream is rubbed in and I am relaxing
You can look back on your day and see it wasn’t that taxing
Then I’ll watch some TV while you straighten up
The cat missed the box and you know about the pup
Dirty clothes in the basket, wet towels in the bath
All need to be cleaned and that’s just my half
Don’t forget socks and my shirts on the floor
There are bills to be paid and probably much more
But I’m off to bed, you can do as you like
Cause that’s how it goes with your dear Uncle Mike
I read a poem on another site about a lady having a bad day - this was my response to her plight
