It Was a Good Morning Until

It was a good morning until I got out of bed. Walked into the bathroom and hit my head. Slipped in the shower because I dropped the soap. If you think it got better, the answer is nope. I put on my uniform, grabbed my badge and my purse. Could not find my stethoscope. I am a nurse. My first patient was home but didn’t let me come in. She had decided to choose another company again. My car overheated which of course made me late. The next patient I visited was completely irate. This would not happen to me again the next morning. I hit the snooze button twice, closed my eyes, and kept snoring. 02/14/2021 Written for It Was A Good Morning Until… Poetry Contest Sponsored by Tania Kitchin
