It Was a Good Morning Until

It was a wonderful, perfectly good, morning [When I shut off the alarm and slid out of bed], Until a broken shoelace screamed a forewarning And I got this sudden, overwhelming feeling of dread. My Keurig emitted a strange humming sound When I filled up the tank and flipped on the switch, Meanwhile, my toast popped up too overly-browned, Found my computer is sick with a frustrating glitch. The forecast is gloomy, predicting flurrying snow This momentous decision swirls around in my head I can face whatever the rest of the day may show Or, I can chuck it all and crawl back into bed!
