Where Did the Sun Go

I woke up this morning to find no sun up in the sky So I jumped out of my bed in hopes to find out why I checked my local channels but much to my surprise turns out I’m the only one with a sun that did not rise I went outside bewildered finding neither moon nor any stars Everything was missing even Jupiter and Mars I couldn’t find my phone and didn’t know what to do so I went to see my friends but they were missing too I ran to the corner to buy some liquor at the store but the sign in the window said “We ain’t here no more!” I went to get my car but it’d been towed away And I couldn’t take a taxi cause I had no way to pay My wallet had come up missing with my cards and all my cash My refrigerator’s empty and my toaster’s in the trash She told me she’d take it all if she walked out of that door But I never thought for a moment she’d pull the tile up from the floor!

Well, that is a sad plight for a person to be in. I know that was not a good situation to be in whomever it happened to in life. I enjoyed the creativity, flow, rhythm and rhyme in the lines. Sara
