What A day

I try to scramble money out

Of my newly deep black

Leather handbag,I hate

At best but I needed it to look

The part and that was the start.

 

I couldn't sleep, all sorts of thoughts

Running through my old tired head.

9am the alarm wakes my weary body

Just has I managed a little sleep.

But slowly and reluctantly I step

Out of my warm, safe bed, only

To open the curtains to another

Miserable day ahead.

 

Then it was dodge my dear

Mothers smoke, so I didn't

Catch a mouthful toxins that

Like my sensitive throat.

 

So the taxi came, a made me

Wait, while he cleaned his silver

Nissan car.I said 'can you do 

That later, only I'm in an hurry

And may be late.

 

He begrudgingly went to his side

And went slower than a snail on

Skates.I panicked inside for this

Very important date and after 15

Minutes of going in circle for less

Than a mile,we finally arrived.

When, the detached unfriendly

Taxi driver told me the fare,

I nearly choked on my chocolate

Eclair.

 

So the big moment had arrived albeit

I was late. But carried on with my

Big happy smile, only to be greeted

By a stern looking lady who looked

Like she wanted to tan my behind.

She shows me to a room,with

Friendly faces, which made

Me feel so relieved in side.

 

So questions where asked and

Answered the usually thing at one

Of these, then asked me to perform

Some tests, which did make me worry,

It had been while,so I were rusty.to

Say the least,but no time for nerves

If I wanted this done. 

 

So a long 35 minutes had gone

And out of the interview I came,

Hoping they choose my name. I

Start to walk in torrential rain.

New to the area I were lost,but

I saw a nice couple out looking for

Their dog who ran off. So I helped

Them Look until we found young Harold

Rolling in the rain.

 

They pointed me to where I could catch

A bus miles down a country lane.

Only to reach the end and miss it,

Then a driver in a white van

Wasn't so kind when he thought it

Would be fun to splash all

Down my left side.

 

Only to be topped off by my new black

And white wrap over dress which I brought

For my job interview, and ripped before

I lost my last twenty pounds. That wont be

Found.So when I finally got

Home soaked through my old bones,

I answered a call to say 'sorry you wont

Be joining Senior care Home'. While

She was very nice and said I were

A lovely lady, and let me down

Gently.

 

I cant dismiss how disappointing this was

And  I felt like sinking in to an abyss.

But for all the bad that happened on this cold,

Wet, windy, miserable day, I think my self

Lucky for what I have, and turned my thoughts

To those worse off than than me. And hope

Soon they feel a little some what like smiling

Like me.
