Nutty

My nutty week stays long in my memory
My brain didn't process like it would normally
But just to be sure I now lay of the pink gin
I will share you my tale and shall now begin.

Paracetamol had been placed inside the freezer
Then found in the bread bin, the daily newspaper
My mouthwash was used as a face cleanser
Then sprayed underarms with the air freshener.

When cooking dinner I put no water in pans
Smoke and burnt offerings, so opened a soup can
Two hours of slow sewing, repairing some things
Only to discover I'd missed both sides of the seams.

Made tea instead of coffee, an easy mistake
But my feather head told me it's chocolate milk shake
Lucky that time the tea had cooled down
But annoyed with myself and felt a right clown.
 
Was I losing my marbles? why all the muddles?
That week I seemed in a right fuddy duddle
But the last straw came when I went to bed 
I had slept on the floor of the garden shed.

The second stanza is true, I have done all that
The rest is made up for bit of spoof slap
But wanted a poem for the nutty contest
This I made up from my nutty mind set.

Hilarious Emilia! Bona Fide nutty! Well done. I once tried to put the iron in the refrigerator and put 3/4 cup of flour in an apple pie instead of 3/4 cup of sugar creating applesauce cement! Ah moments of humility! This is definitely a fav for me. When things are going wrong I will read this and bring a :D back to my face and a giggle to my spirit! All the best!

Thank you so much Sam and for the honour of a fav. I do tend to be quiet accident prone in many areas but I always try to laugh them off. I'm happy my poem brought you a smile. Emilia : )

Having slept under a hedge during, being forced to drink copious amounts of alcohol whilst bar hopping as you do. You do tend to do strange things whilst sobering up, like making gourmet meals that could kill millions.
