Another sunny day - Birds sing outside my door. I can't hear them. It seems I've spilled milk on the floor, And mother loudly screams. Another sunny day - We learn the Golden Rule, And go outside to play Where bullies kindly teach Which rules I must obey. Another sunny day - Boss serves donuts and says, "At work you needn't show." Wife kisses me and says, "It's time for me to go." Another sunny day - Got my medicare card Another stroke of luck, 'Cuz on my morning walk, I got hit by a truck.

Thanks Andrea, glad it worked! I was sort of going for some irony - and also, I don't know if you ever experienced this, but sometimes, when everything around you seems wonderful, but you don't feel wonderful, it sort of magnifies the feeling. Suddenly, that song Blue Christmas pops into mind.

So sorry about the truck, but I can't help laughing. You write terrific poems that end without argument. This is life. Sometimes it's hard.

I'm glad you liked it Hilda! I meant it to be funny, but after I wrote it, I wondered if it would be seen that way.

haha, life on most days, seems great, and then there are those bad days, in which it suddenly seems like every day is a bad day.
