Last Week

Last week on the road
I saw three dead cats
run over by cars
heads smushed flat.

Last week I went to work
with a very heavy heart
and when I went to leave,
my car wouldn't start.

Last week it rained so hard,
the rain stripped the trees,
so it was raining rain and
it was raining leaves.

Last week we set our clocks back
and I can hardly see
driving to work
and doing seventy-three.

Last week I missed the game
and the Cowboys finally won.
Thank God in Heaven that
last week is finally done.

Damn! It's not bad enough being a liberal, but even worse, a Cowboy fan. Two of my goals in life are to see Haley's comet and an Eagle Championship. I may have to wait for the second comet. God Bless. Vince
