It was one of those days,
Those days where time flies by.
Yes I am retired and should have time,
But what happened to yesterday!
Every day I write poems,
But not yesterday,
I had a job that needed doing,
Needed doing first thing.
I had to go out to the croquet club,
I needed to put the white lines down,
Down on the lawns.
This normally takes under an hour
But not yesterday,
The machine was not working
So I had to take it apart and fix it!
Did that then went home.
Got home half an hour before going out.
Shower needed,
Shower done.
Then those little things happened,
Struggled to put leg in trousers,
Cereal container empty
So refilled it,
Went to put milk on it
But had to peel off the stopper.
Managed to get out five minutes late,
So not too bad.
But the worst problem of all
Was not writing poetry
And putting it on this site.
