The Bad Morning

"I awoke this morning a terrible shock to see In my bathroom mirror- Someone else staring at me! He had huge eyes, big and red and frizzy purple hair! Lips were crayon colored Complexion not so fair Dressed in a clown's P.J.'s I was dumbstruck! I stared and stared... I was just amazed!!! How had I awoken so different in one day? But no one to ask... I doubt that they could say I was in shock, such shock you see... So I sat on the toilet Was this another? Was this really me? Yet worse was to come, and it was very fast... I'd thought that I'd seen it all, and that I'd seen the last I could not sit, as I'd tried My unexpected tail in pain it cried A donkey's tail- there was no doubt... I opened up my mouth Intent that I would scream- But found I could not shout! Only a braying would come out!!! It was then that I noticed What were once my feet... Now were hooves, cloven! Oh, ain't that just sweet!!! I'll go to the office today, I know what they all will say... "We told you so, and come what may- You truely are a Jackass That's proven here today!!!"
