One of Those Days


It was a day of green grass and all
that could be seen was concrete.

It was a day blessed by the sun, and everyone
remained hunkered down in the shade.

It was a day of tooth ache pain, and even
with ibuprofen there was no hope of relief.

On such a day busy beavers still built dams
and blocked the flow of streams,

the day roosters crowed at noon and chickens
without reason refused to cross the road.

Oh, there was that day when the anthem played
and everyone took a knee.

There was the day when shoes went untied, and
suede loafers took over the world.

That day, even though the race was run, no one
crossed the finish line.

Remember the day children refused to
believe in nursery rhymes,

when clocks and watches went on strike
and no one couldn’t tell time?

It was a bad day when elephant tusks rained
from the sky, blocking traffic for miles on I-35.

Recall the day a fart in the wind tunnel really
did make a difference,

when a witch’s tit and well-digger’s ass became
warm to the touch,

the day Alzheimer's struck Lady Luck and no
one won the lottery?

Oh, what a shame...

Remember the day you left your umbrella at home
and in sheets and torrents, it rained cats and dogs?

Good luck, Sucka! Tomorrow’s another day.
