Power-Fail

The Power Is Out AGAIN! And, I say this While blocking a sneeze. I say this While blocking the breeze. I say this knowing That it could be much worse. But this time, It was icy lines Last time... a wind burst, Or a trickle of rain Or some sh¡t. I'm feeling kinda snarky, ...Hence the wit. Better to laugh out loud Than for me to pitch a fit. Still... THE POWER IS OUT AGAIN! And, I'm like... OG&E, REALLY?! So blocking the driveway, to trim trees... Must've NOT been the Dilly, Because YO, the power... IS OUT AGAIN! Is this my test? Welp! At least it's daytime. At least I'm warmly dressed. And, at least I'm not worried about cooking, because I'm FASTING... But, that alone means, That this short positivity fest.... AINT lasting. After charging my phone for the SECOND time, IN THE CAR, I'm starting to feel the stress. And, just like that... Quicker than sh¡t through a goose, I'm mad AGAIN, And, I figure it might be okay, to let my Chatman temper, loose. And, I'm flipping OG&E the bird, Because... sh¡t! I'm sick of this mess. And, I'm ranting. "I GUESS THE E STANDS FOR EVER-OUT EVER-CHILLY EVER-PRAYING Because we ALL know, That with electricity... You ain't slaying.... Because... the... power... IS OUT AGAIN!"
