Just Another Day

* For Brian's "Tomorrow is another day" contest Dawn, but the alarm never rang Power was on; I’d failed to set it Cornflakes littered the kitchen floor The box? I just couldn’t reach it A passing train delayed traffic Was trapped for nearly an hour Only then did I realize I had forgotten to shower Was tardy arriving at work Too late to attend the meeting No smiles came from my angry boss And she offered no warm greeting There was such turmoil in accounts Ads printed in the wrong color Then the company president Started to smolder and holler Made my way home only to find A fire truck in my driveway “Thank God, it’s over,” I whimpered “Tomorrow is another day”
