Lucky Day

Lucky Day

As luck would have it I:
put on the last pair of clean pants
spilled cereal on them
realized I was late for a meeting
ran through a stop sign
did not see the state trooper sitting there
got a hefty fine
rolled into an empty parking lot
fell into a pile of mulch
ran into the office
found out that it was Saturday
in a fit of peak ran back to the car
and fell into the same pile of mulch
sped home as fast as I could
forgot about the state trooper sitting there
got another hefty fine
got home and breathed a sigh of relief
and said to myself this is my lucky day.

I stumbled upon this when I searched for list poems and this is the only one I've commented on. I often use humor to cope with days like you described, often because I've had my share. So, I saw myself in this. Thank you so much for gifting me a laugh. I once got a ticket for praying while driving, driving right through a red light. Just great ... CayCay

As an Irishman I would say a shot of the Jamesons might help.
