Right Side of the Bed

by Romantic Lover   Apr 19, 2007


Oh my goodness, I didn't even hear my alarm go off
I hope my boss is not mad, and at me he would scoff
As I'm jumping in the shower, I slip on a bar of soap
Getting to work on time, I'm running out of hope

Quickly get dressed and off to work I go
Traffic is ridiculous, can it go any slow
I run to a meeting that I'm already late for
Yet I walk in nonchalantly and quietly shut the door

My boss looks over and gives me the look
I must think of an excuse to get off the hook
Angrier he gets, are you ready to give your presentation
Damn it, I forgot it at home, leading to more frustration

The meeting is adjourned since I'm not prepared
Is my job now in jeopardy, I'm left a little scared
My boss walks in my office and just gives me a stare
What is he thinking, asking him do I even dare

He gives me a puzzled look as he scans me from head to toe
I look down at myself and I finally come to know
Two different shoes and my fly hanging down
I drop in my chair with no explanation but a frown

As I relive the events to a conclusion I was led
If only I had gotten up from the right side of the bed.

    "Traffic is ridiculous, can it go any slow" It should be slower but I know that you put it that way for the rhyme scheme. lol this was such a cute idea I loved it.. and its true what a difference waking up on the right side of the bed can make.
