Awoke early this morning
really jump started ready to go
wasn't in any kind of mourning
was at work my stuff going to show.

Decided on taking a hot shower
and not take the time to have a bath
then I found there was no power
but didn't want to show my wrath.

So in the darkness I stumbled
to search for the electrical board
then I heard my stomach rumble
did an about face, tripped on a cord.

Finally made through this flash
and then found the open breaker
then had to make another dash
at work they would think I was a faker.

But not deterred I continue on
cutting myself while shaving
this is really no type of con
almost started madly about raving.

Finally dressed and flying outdoors
reached my hand where the keys
were always kept for the car doors
but came up empty, I said no more please.

Now I had to think almost out loud
who had used the car last night
everyone looked at me like a rain cloud
and now me I'm looking like a fright.

Finally on floor next to the door I spy
the keys grab them and run to the car
started up throw it in reverse I try
when one of kids yells you won't go far.

Confused at this statement I step on the gas
and through the garage door go with a bang
and looking around hearing the glass crash
I hear one last hub cap on the ground clang.

Remember the powers off and the garage door
is electric so it didn't open when I pushed
the button on the wall I was devastated to the core
it was at this point all my good resolve was crushed.

My neighbors all on their lawns the damage
did survey wondering which kid was driving today
laughing loudly at all the noise and carnage
boy this was a day someone was going to pay.

Then something strange occurred I wondered why
I heard the alarm go off and my honey asked me
to turn it off as it was Saturday and I wanted to cry
a most difficult day for me was a dream I'd never see.
