Bad Week Breakdown

Tom Dylan


Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

I was having such a bad week.

Everything was going wrong.

Had life always been this hard?

I needed a strong cup of tea,

a lie down in a dark room,

I needed a cold beer

with a whiskey chaser.

I turned on the television,

found the channel I was looking for.

I rubbed my hands together

in anticipation.

My wife came home a short while later.

Before I could grab the remote control

and change the channel,

she pointed at the TV screen in disgust.

Really? I thought you were done with all that!

I was, I am. I insisted, my cheeks burning red

in shame and embarrassment.

I switched the TV off, the offending images

turned to black.

She shook her head.

You and the bloody wrestling!

        We all have a child in us even when we have grown up. Nothing wrong with a child inside or out. A fun read Tom

            Tom, this is comic timing at its finest. The bad week, the shame, the tension building…and then the twist with wrestling hits perfectly. Relatable, funny, and so well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
