poem of a complicated day: a true story

sometimes you just have those days
where everything is complicated.
you wake up to your phone ringing
and your sister is home sick.

you learn you have more things to do
before the week is over.
your bank account is being screwy,
everything's redick.

there is a little time frame
of unnecessary drama
or am i just too laid back? you ponder
as eating a licorice stick.

you gather everyone to watch a movie
to calm the day down some.
no one else agrees on "Frankenstein"
but you can't stand "White Chicks".

movie idea tossed aside,
you decide to take a nap.
again, awaken by the phone
this better be a real person and not a telemarketer.

you get the news, the car's still gone
you might be late to work
with forty minutes and a stressed manager
you need a backup, quick.

finally everything figured out
actually happy to be working
there are poinsettias all around the room
and you're thinking of saint nick.

your favorite holiday is almost here
and this day is almost over
you get to sleep in tomorrow morning
your manager wasn't a dick

you are sitting in a comfy chair
you are typing up your day
you are happy here, just full of yogurt
and hearing your clock tick.
