Got up
On the wrong side of the bed;
Feeling of foreboding;
Trifle uncomfortable;
Shrugged aside nonchalantly.
Started my routine;
Dropped a glass
Had to clean the mess!
Missed the bus;
Caught an auto;
Reached half an hour late!
Explanation given;
Started my job,
Spilled ink on the register;
Again explanation-
And correction! !
Forgot my ID card;
A black mark given!
Nagging feeling of wrong side
Crept up again and again!
Waved away the thought.
Had to reach home early,
Ran down the stairs,
Slipped and landed with a thud.
Took me to the hospital
Hair line fracture- X-ray revealed.
Reached home in time;
For the party-
But alas! !
could not party! !
So; I pledged myself-
Never to get up on the wrong side of the bed;
Come what may! ! !
