I woke up this morning and realized I’d forgotten…
“Hang on.” I think “but what have I forgotten. I’ve forgotten what I’ve forgotten.”
Slapping my self both mentally and physically and stumble out of be.
Hiss, scratch and sharp blinding pain.
Could it be I’d forgotten the cat?
Its raging yowls and hisses greeting me as I’d stepped on the poor things tail.
The bathroom, oh the horror.
Slip and crack, on to the shower floor,
A loud scream fallowed by some cursing,
The waters gone cold and I’m covered in soap.
Stumbling out, falling on the curtain.
Shaving? Nope, no thanks, I shant try for an accidental suicide.
Finally out of the house, falling on the sidewalk.
A crack? Oh gasp! More bad luck, hurrah!
I throw up my hands, elbow into the head of a stranger.
I turn ever so slowly, and he glares, flashing a badge and a gun.
And now I sit in jail, for assault of an officer,
My family refused to help me make bail.
I’m feeling kind of scared, a little weirded out if you must know.
My cellmate is lookin at me funny, giving me the old eye.
Finally I’m sprung, no jail rape for me!
Down the road I walk, a little jig is in my step.
Oh, oh gasp the horror! The local Star Bucks has burnt down!
I swoon and cry, out of all the tragedy today,
I wish it had gone the other way.
My place of fun and caffeine is gone!
Now I sit alone on my apartment,
My hands are shaking; I need the Grande Late` with double shot of espresso fix.
My boss called, and I got fired as well as being sued for sexual harassment.
My cat was hit by a car…my mom just admitted that I’m adopted.
Wow, I sigh and stare at my life,
How did this happen in one day…?
Oh that right,
Murphy’s law, or that stupid rabbits foot….
However my moneys on good Mr. Murphy and his infamous law of probability.
