A Day in my Life

I opened my sleepy, crusted, lazy eyes

To find that the sun had decided "early ill rise"

I looked at my clock, it can be right

For I was sure I set the alarm that night.

I jumped up and panicked "Ill be late this time for sure"

I had been late for work that month a time times four.

I ran, and jumped in the shower without a moment to spare

Quickly hopped out and dried off my hair,

I grabbed my coat and ran out the door

Jumped in my car and the pedal hit the floor.

I sped through highways and bi-ways alike,

Just to get pulled over by cop on a bike.

He gave me a ticket and I continued along

Little did i know that something was wrong

My car slowed and sputtered to a stop

I looked at the gas gauge and I lost my top

This would not have happened if the alarm worked before

Then I looked up, just in time to see rain start to pour.

I tried to think of how the day could get more horrible

I tried to think of one thing to make it more deplorable

I gave up and I started to walk and saw a man selling todays paper, his last name was Hoff.

I bought one and could not help but smile as I looked at the date, it was Saturday, my day off
