A Seuss-i-cal Week

I woke up on Sunday

quite ready for church;

backed out in my Hyundai

to crash with a lurch!

My pleasant demeanor

(which started the day)

crushed flat by the beaner

I got in the fray!

On Monday, I figured

things couldn’t get worse,

but that folly triggered

more reason to curse.

The ride I’d finagled

(my car in the shop)

was out getting bageled

and forgot to stop!

That might be forgiven

when Tuesday arrived

if she hadn’t driven

where bees had been hived.

Ten stings were the answer

(allergic I’m not),

my jumps like a dancer

throughout parking lot!

By Wednesday, though weary,

I tried to regroup.

I even got cheery

and packed me some soup.

It tasted so yummy

(while warming me through),

I filled up my tummy

and went to the zoo!

I’m glad that my bosses

by Thursday could see

I’d dealt them no losses

and cost them no fee.

It’s not that I’m lazy

(I work really hard),

but life had been crazy

for this week, so far.

On Friday, you know it,

I counted the tocks

though I couldn’t show it

by watching the clocks.

I don’t think it’s stretching

(in fact I’m quite sure)

to say all my kvetching

had only one cure –

and that was for free time,

now Saturday bound.

A ‘what do you see’ rhyme

in Seuss-i-cal-sound

I’ve writ for a week

(though it’s only a lark).

Life isn’t so bleak

if your car can stay parked!
