It Was One of Those Mornings

It Was One of Those Mornings

The Worst

We have no eggs left, the milk has gone sour.
Sudden storm and now we lost all power.
My front tire looks flat
And where is the cat?
Set the clocks back so I redo this hour.

The Best

There is commotion and laughter outside.
Dreams unfinished-this now must subside.
I yank on the door,
The ones I adore.
Just for you, Daddy! I have tears to hide.

Ahhh... last verse got me. Our power goes out from storms quite a bit, awful way to wake up, plus the flat and cat... I enjoyed this.
