Bad Summer Day

I apologize right from the start.
I had a day that broke my heart. 
It seemed no matter what I'd do.
It all just seemed to make me blue.

First the washer overflowed.
Then my bicycle got towed.
The wind blew away my receipt.
I had to resort to my feet.

You'll have to read between the lines.
This is the way God deals out fines.
I can't remember a worse day.
I hope another never comes my way.

Just so you know, I woke up better.
But, one day at a time in this short letter.
