I’m Having A Day

written by: Roger Turner

@titansdad

Alarm didn’t ring
It’s started to rain
Car wouldn’t start
I was late for the train

Overloaded at work
And all I can say
Is, I should have stayed home
I’m having a day

I’m having a day
Best stay out of my way
Nothing’s gone right
And I’m having a day

Meeting at two
I’m nowhere near set
All that I’ve got
Is all that they’ll get

Train delayed home
But I’m on my way
Dinner’s on late
I’m having a day

I’m having a day
Best stay out of my way
Nothing’s gone right
And I’m having a day

Looked at the bills
Needed a drink
Sent the kids off to bed
Dropped my glass in the sink

Wish I could run
But, I can’t so I stay
I’m thinking of a way out
‘Cause I’m having a day

I’m having a day
Best stay out of my way
Nothing’s gone right
And I’m having a day

I live in London, Ontario, Canada. I have published a few books "The Christmas Ponies", "Sarah and The Christmas Ponies" among others on amazon. My tastes run to Stephen King, but reach from Dr. Suess, and Shel Silverstein. I love golf and old films and anything related to old Las Vegas. I am married to the love of my life, Megan, and have been for 19 years.

Precious Moments by Valli Henry-Boldini

...The little blue jay landed on the windowsill just as Frank’s heart skipped another beat. He looked at her delicate colours and the way she flitted back and forth along the white peeling ledge. She reminded him so much of his wife Emily, as she skipped along the white sandy beach all those years ago.

Emily lay asleep on their bed. Frank watched her from his favourite window seat and smiled. Thirty years had passed and she had remained his destiny.

As the bright morning sunlight burst through the top half of the windowpane and landed on her ashen face, its warmth stirred her from her slumber and she extended her thin arm to block out its penetrating rays...
