Not My Day

Cock-a-doodle-do,the sun is shining through,
Light appears in the sky,darkness turns to blue,
Sneakers or shoe,what do you think my boo,
Left my umbrella at home,rain soaked my shoe,
Achoo-acho-acho,now I have the flu,
Head-ache and cold,seems I caught them too,
My muscles are aching,shivering right through,
Hate taking tablets,a cup of herbal tea will do,
Ahhh-ya-yi,kicked the wall,my God what a blow,
Wobbling to the bathroom,now I broke my toe,
Sitting in the doctors' coach, perched like a crow, 
Darn plaster polish,messing up my flow,
She loves me,she loves me not,what will this flower choose,
Came home early,sick,battered and bruised,
Heard basket ball on the t.v,my boo only watches news,
Burst into the bedroom,to see her hugging another dude,
Bye,bye,bye,pack your things and go away,
I gave you my all,why,why did you stray,
Woke up this morning,energetic and gay,
One thing for certain,today wasn't my day...

Goodness, Richard! This day of yours warranted not only a poem of its own, but to have an entry in Wikipedia under Bad Day! Haha. Wonderful poem! I certainly like your style, technique, formatting. Makes me truly honored that you like my poems. Keep that pen of your working, playing. Fond regards. Your fan, sally

I feel bad for laughing at the misfortune but you are a funny guy. Well done and I pray for you to have an amazing day and that this poem was a flight of fantasy not your reality.
