" One of those days" by Sue copyright 15/10/10

Maybe the moon is in the wrong phase ,
it was just one of those days -
am afraid , it must be said -
I really should have stayed in bed.

The cat squashed a mouse on the floor ,
Jehovah's Witnesses at the door -
it seemed they wished to talk all week ,
though politely I did speak.

The car it refused to start ,
needs a new expensive part ;
I couldn't even have a drink ,
'cos the kettle's on the blink.

Then the cashpoint let me down
when I needed money in the town -
of my credit card it made a feast,
bank didn't care , to say the least.

My umbrella broke in wind and rain
while I hurried home again,
I might have liked to watch the news,
but the telly blew a fuse.

I could've screamed,I could've cried,
but in the end I did decide
to safely lounge on the settee
where no harm could come to me.
