A Very Bad Day

When I arose one day, I could barely walk.
Had to drink my coffee before I could talk.

Before I was done, the bathroom would call,
I held the grab bar, but still managed to fall.

The shower beckoned me, so I went on in.
I slipped on the soap, and bruised my shin. 

Later I was hungry, so in the kitchen I go.
I screamed a bit loudly, when I stubbed my toe.

My dog started barking, and looking quite mean.
He then bit my leg, it was a real bloody scene.

I made it to the fridge, and looked inside,
There was nothing to eat, so I sat down and cried.

I ordered a large pizza, and thought "oh well".
But when it arrived, it was burnt as hell. 

I tried to take a walk, but my feet were still sore,
Instead of feeling good, it was becoming a chore. 

I made it back home, after slipping in the mud,
That's it, I thought, this day's a real dud. 

I thought tomorrow will be good, like it's always been,
I laid my head on my pillow, then the ceiling caved in. 

Goodnight!
