My Life Is Unraveling
A Metamucil Moment"
Woke up this morning
Feeling rather blue
Ran out of Metamucil
Don't know what to do
Muscles really aching
Joints are creaky sore
I ran out of Ben-Gay
Have to run down to the store
Blood pressure medicine
Seems too have disappeared
Can't remember if I used it all
My tummy's feeling kinda of weird
Where did I put my glasses
Can't see a gosh darn thing
Can't drive with out them
Now the phone it starts to ring
Who would be calling me
Should I answer it or leave
It's a damn telemarketer
Now I'm really peeved
Do you need your carpets cleaned
A written pitch I'd heard before
No!! But could use some Metamucil
Hung up and headed out the door
My car is almost out of gas
The Kona coffee kicking in
Don't think I need that Metamucil
As my stomach starts to spin
Ran back to the bathroom
In a hurry I did run
Found there wasn't any T.P.
Grrrr !!! This is not a lot of fun
But did find my Ben-Gay
Wish I found my glasses first
Thought I brushed my teeth with Colgate
Now I'm really at my worst
My blood pressure's rising
Still can't find my med's
Think I'm gonna give up
I'm going back to bed
