When It Rains, It Pours
“When it rains, it pours”
Often turns out true
For one thing gone wrong
Sometimes starts a slew.
So an E.R. trip,
Which would be enough,
Then a tire near flat
Leads to other stuff.
Like no transport home
From a birthday meet,
Since the E.R. car
Had the booster seat.
Frantic texts and calls
‘Til things got resolved,
But the story then
Gets much more involved.
‘Cross the ocean, flights
Somehow got delayed.
Then a phone got lost,
Leaving all dismayed.
But the downpour stops
And the sun comes out.
All the ups and downs
Are what life’s about.
