Off My Day

Feels like writing a depressing one on this day Am pretty irritated now, with no reason why I feel like I want to jump out of my skin, into a bin Oh I know what I did last night, what a sin This is my punishment, so I have to chin up This is my fate, which comes as a twin And then this girl this morning, comes to me running She says she's kin, am like from what fin I know I haven't been drinking gin, feels like I need a gym Oh wait, that's history now, less worry to my life Going back to that girl, I wonder if she can twirl I'd like to give her a hurl Oh I know that would hurt Oops this girl needs to divert And focus on being a flirt Oh wait, i can blame dessert For the sugar overload!

And thanks for the suggestions about the form for this poem. Men, I think the hardest part for me is trying to figure it out all these different forms.

Hi Njeri the next time you get a day off, try lemon juice. I can't think of sugar overload..really ..I am diabetic. Love

Yes too much sugar would not be good for you. But neither is it to me. Its like I cant resist from sweets esp as I tend to eat too much. I always have a sick horrible feeling the following day, almost like a hangover. Not good. Anyway thanks for visiting my work.
