A RHYME
I overslept and missed my train,
Slipped on the pavement in the heavy rain.
Sprained my leg, skinned my knees,
Broke my glasses, lost my keys,
Got stuck in the elevator,
It wouldn`t go,
Kicked it twice and hurt my toe;
Bought a pen that didn`t write,
Took it back and had a fight,
Went home angry, locked the door,
Crawled into bed, couldn`t take any more.
