Stuck In Bed

I know my supervisor thought I lied, the day I said. The reason that I had been out was I was stuck in bed. I tried explaining desperately the rain had been to blame. He looked at me like I was nuts, it really was a shame. I told him that the night before it had rained cats and dogs. So much that by the morning time the flooding hit the bogs. And seeing how my little house is near a swampy creek. It wasn’t long before my house had sprung a great big leak. His face got twisted when I said my house got washed away. And pretty soon my house was floating on Big Hollow Bay. I told him in great detail how the planks began to break. And how I wound up floating in my bed in Big Bear Lake. I finally was rescued by the firemen in town. It took them many hours just to pull my bed in ground. So like I said, I told him that the rain had been to blame. Unfortunately, I don’t think that he believes my claim.
