Notes About The Poem

Badder Day

Badder Day

I woke up this morning
so cold I'm almost jerking.
My house was almost freezing
my furnace wasn't working.

I stepped outside to take a ride
and stopped where I was at.
All four of my truck tires
and my spare was flat.

I fired up my motor
in my truck parked in the street.
And relished in the moment
as I started feeling heat.

Pulling off my jacket
when the next thing that I knew.
Steam was going everywhere
my heater hose just blew.

I could not believe my luck
I couldn't get it through my head.
I tried to call my mother
but my cell phone had gone dead.

Then I turned in time to see
this poor girl with her dad.
I suddenly felt better
my day don't look so bad.
