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”
