Bad Day

You ever got up and everything's wrong? walk down the stairs and everyone glares, you hear the radio playing that awful song, not looking your best shorts and string vest, milk turned sour, no bread, cereal all gone, car windscreen covered with frost, that awful sound battery flat, lights left on, run for the bus late for work missed it, great, am I the only one? am I just the exception? must be something better than this, bad luck ever since my conception, no it's raining, lust for life now draining, I think I'll go home, I need some affection. 19/08/2017.

Reminds me of "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"!
