Monday Morning - A True Story

A small mouse, there in my shoe,

Stomach pains, whilst on the loo,

Cat food smell, near made me choke,

Then my trouser zip, it broke.

All these things messed with my head,

Made me wish I'd stayed in bed,

So - lest you make me more irate,

Please - don't ask me why I'm late.

Having had all this happen to me before leaving for work on Monday, I called in to tell my boss I would be a little delayed.  When I finally did get on the bus, I created this poem in my head as a 'coping mechanism'.  I then 'performed' it to my boss and colleagues to avoid having to explain my morning in detail.  It had the desired effect and earned me some applause too! ;)
