Rainy Days and Mondays Contest

I contemplated a suitable description
To sum up my life.  A truthful depiction
I considered a title for a romantic comedy
But I gave up romance, in exchange for monogamy 
Humor is a product of my relentless misfortunes
I’m trapped in a recurrence of Monday mornings
In a permanent cloud.  I’ll never get out
Indefinitely waiting on flowers to sprout
I realized my title should be gloomy and grey
I went with the name, Rainy Mondays

With a beautiful cheery face like yours? Are you kidding me? Anne Hopper your smile would turn any rainy day into a sunny one. Just saying. But I do love the way you have written this....Maria
