Off My Day

Feels like writing a depressing one on this day
Am pretty irritated now, with no reason why
I feel like I want to jump out of my skin, into a bin

Oh I know what I did last night, what a sin
This is my punishment, so I have to chin up
This is my fate, which comes as a twin

And then this girl this morning, comes to me running
She says she's kin, am like from what fin
I know I haven't been drinking gin, feels like I need a gym

Oh wait, that's history now, less worry to my life

Going back to that girl, I wonder if she can twirl
I'd like to give her a hurl
Oh I know that would hurt

Oops this girl needs to divert
And focus on being a flirt

Oh wait, i can blame dessert 
For the sugar overload!

And thanks for the suggestions about the form for this poem. Men, I think the hardest part for me is trying to figure it out all these different forms.

Yes too much sugar would not be good for you. But neither is it to me. Its like I cant resist from sweets esp as I tend to eat too much. I always have a sick horrible feeling the following day, almost like a hangover. Not good. Anyway thanks for visiting my work.
