Bonus Poem

  Rei Hawk

Wake up in the mornin’ from a real deep sleep

I feel relaxed and rested for the first heart beat

Take a look at the clock and have the typical shock

There’s always something wrong, I should be halfway down the block!

There’s no time for a shower ‘cause it’s way past time to go

So I do a sniff test and find out there’s no BO

That’s such a lucky break, I thought, heading toward the closet

Should have known something was wrong; laundry – forgot to wash it

Now, I’ve done all I can, so to work it’s time to flee

And to my luck there’s stand givin’ tea and coffee out for free

But of course the lid falls off and coffee gets all over me

No matter what, there’s always something, how else would my luck be?

I get to work to face my fate, but I find out something great

The boss is also late, the morning meeting had to wait

But of course there’s always something, life is such a sad fable

Because yesterday’s report, I left it on the kitchen table

Finally get out of work and I open my umbrella

For once I brought it with me ‘cause the forecast said bad weather

My umbrella blew away and of course I got soaked

What else can I say? My life is just a sick joke

The day’s been pretty bad, and by the end I’m pretty beat

But there’s a cutie at the bar in the very next seat

I ask her for her number – right now it’s all or nothing

“Sure, I’ll grab a pen!” Hey, I guess there’s always somethin’
