a bad day

If I could cut off my feet, would it get any worse?
Yesterday a thief stole my favorite purse
It had my I.D., everything but my keys
Arthritis in my ankles and in my knees

I stumble and hobble as I try to walk
My deranged parrot has an annoying squawk
my husband has left me and taken the keys
I curse my sore ankle and arthritic knees.
