Did you ever have a bumpy day?
A day when things get in your way
Like tables, chairs and swinging doors
And baby brothers on the floor

Bumped my head
And counted to ten
My eyes saw stars
And a cross-eyed hen

Stubbed my toe
On my dog Tiny
It hurt so much
It made me whiney

Caught my finger
In a kitchen drawer
Cried so loud
My throat got sore

Slipped and fell
On our front lawn
Sank so low
I saw two frogs yawn

Bruised my nose
On a thorny rose
It turned so red
I went straight to bed

Did you ever have a bumpy day like that?
A day when things got in your way
Like tables, chairs and swinging doors
And baby brothers on the floor

Love this, hudsonmoon, it made me smile in a number of places, and the title really caught my eye. Strange how some people always pick attractive, memorable titles and some folk, even if their stories and poems are very good indeed, seem to go out of their way to find crap ones.....

Thank you, TW. I wrote this a while back for my wife. She does illustrations and for the longest time we've been trying to put words and pictures together for a children's book. I was going through some older stuff and forgotten about this. Glad i found it. Rich

I'm glad you found it too Rich- you don't often write poetry, do you?

God no, Pia. This is maybe one of a handful of attempts at something resembling poetry. And this one goes back a couple of years. But I'm glad you liked it. Rich

Nice one Rich, I seem to have more and more days like that the older I get. ;¬) KJD
