My favorite day

by Jesse Low   Mar 31, 2022


I tripped over the dog on my way out the door
its Monday again need I say more?
I get to the car and wonder where I put my keys
I locked them in the house oh god help me please
I'm late as it is and now I'm screwed
my boss is an ass and a heartless dude
He gets mad if I'm late even 1 minute
I’d really like to make him a sandwich with knuckles in it
I gotta get those and its gotta be quick
so open goes the door from a nice swift kick
I go to retrieve them and then I realize
they are in my pocket I tell you no lies
so out to the car I run like hell
again over the dog I tripped and fell
I smash my forehead on the hand rail
my dog looks at me and wags his tail
crap Iforgot to take you out
come on lets hurry I say with a shout
he does his business and off i go
I'm gonna get pulled over thats my luck you know
sure enough i see it in the rear view mirror
red and blue flashing lights suddenly appear
15 minutes later and 200 dollars poorer
I'm driving away and see to my horror
road construction ahead expect a delay
"OH GREAT THAT JUST MAKES MY FREAKING DAY"!
so 30 minutes late i finally arrive
those poor pedestrians are lucky to be alive
I sprint to the door to get inside
hes standing right there my tardiness I cant hide
he raises an eyebrow and says to me
what are you doing here todays paid free
its martin Luther king day didn't you know?
or are you just an idiot maybe a little slow?
I take his criticism for a while man what a jerk
that guy makes it impossible to enjoy my work
anyway thats a glimpse of what I go through
the sad thing is. all of its true
