At the
last second
My car
refused to start
I was
going to be distraught
Upset and
put out
But this
thing happened Sunday
An old
lady read a story
A
conversation with God
Where the
person asks him why,
Why everything went wrong
God says
that in each instance he was there
Making
things happen a certain way
Protecting
the person from adversity
So, I let
the car have its way
Decided to
work from home
A
spreadsheet is a spreadsheet
No matter
which screen it is on
Still the
question sits there
Hanging
over the whole day
What did I
miss?
Which terrible thing might have
happened?
I decided
to take a survey
My bet was
on gasoline
And that I
probably had less than I thought
And payday is tomorrow
So I would
have been stranded
Claire was
pretty sure I was going to crash
Run into a
semi and get pushed off the over-pass
She can be
so morbid
With her
pixie-esque features
And her delightful unaffected smile
Josie postured
a different opinion
Thought I
was headed for embarrassment
A guaranteed
wardrobe malfunction
As I bent to pick up a pencil
My pants
were going to rip
Right in front of my boss
Veronica
was less dramatic
She just said I would be lonely
Because I missed
the puppies
I told her
she need to stop smoking crack
And punted
a puppy for effect
Max feared
a technological threat
That my
MP3 player would die
And tuneless,
I would slowly deflate
Wallow and
writhe in silent agony
For the
lack of some fat beats
Ezra
thought monsters might eat my leg
And the
giant robot was going to blow up my building
After the
evil ninja caused a magic tornado
To strike
all the trees with lightning
That
might have been exciting to see
I think
Linda was right though
She said
it was just one of those days
To work
from home
Give
your sweetie some hugs
Cook her
some lunch
And cover her in kisses
The kids
all rolled their eyes
But
I like the way she thinks.
