This and That
Yesterday I felt WONDERFUL!
No aches and pains
Happy
All signs of morbid paranoia gone!
I could actually greet people
Offer a smile
while before……
Before?
Well………..
If they were laughing
they laughed at me
I counted my change
so carefully
Thought I looked like a patsy
Slouched around
BUT!
Today?
All the ‘slings and arrows’ return…..
Got up with a sinus headache
Cat crapped on the kitchen floor
Phone computer t.v.
all connection
DEAD!
Car battery?
DEAD!
Wife left a note –
“Goodby FOREVER! you S.O. B!
Took her car
AND
My mastercard
ALL my money
Picked up a book
Forgot the title
So demoralized
‘Ping and Pong’
I dunno
I’ll call it ‘This and That’
Well?
I thought sure I was in the clutches of ‘That’
THEN I realized
With a smile at first
THEN
A leap of JOY!
‘This’ is the day
‘That’ damn woman
Has kissed-off FOREVER!
