My Day

I had a bad reaction
To the Covid booster shot,
A pattern that repeats
With every one I ever got.

On top of feeling sick, I had
Some problems with my phone.
My email wasn’t working
And to raving I am prone.

I’ve started feeling better
And my email finally works.
(An Apple agent cleared things up,
Among the iPhone’s perks.)

My day was not the greatest
But it feels wrong to complain.
After all, it’s 9/11
And those memories remain.
