Have You Ever The Day From Hell Have you ever had the day from hell? When everything you do doesn’t go well Nothing you do seems to end up right As you plunge deeper into chaos fright The toast is burnt and you’re running late Then you snag your tights on the garden gate The bus you ran for leaves you behind And no matter where no peace can you find Have you ever had a day of woe? Where everything lacks it’s own measured flow Nothing seems to stop the flow of pain And you wish you could start the day again There’s no sign that the day will improve When the traffic in front simply won’t move You fume and fuss as the day speeds by And all you can do is wearily sigh Have you ever had a day of grief? When the lawyer you face loses his brief Nothing is worse that a lawyer’s bait Under the questions you sigh it’s my fate To have a day of such wretched luck In the day from hell you are surely stuck Now there’s only one thing you can do Just pray that somehow someway you’ll get through Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire |

YES! Have I? Certainly, but they always seem to go away...eventually... Just like your own will too.... Give me the bacon Turn on the heat For Mushy is takin' it on her two feet The troubles tho' many that stack and grow are never too many so...get up and go! |

"put on my coat and grabbed my hat made the bus in seconds flat" sounds like a day in the life very nice any day you have to talk to a lawyer is a bummer |

Oh these valleys and peaks of life can be frustrating and disheartening....But hell or not we write it out of mind onto the page then we kick it around! That's needed..... You'll be fine love! |

  (sigh) As Van Morrison says, "My momma told me there'd be days like this!"! (big hugggsssss) I believe we all have bad days, for I have had so many too but we must always measure the good days and those that make us happy and have them outnumber those duds! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Marsha...this is a cute poem about how real life can be... but what you have to do on days like these, is to go back into your bed for a few minutes and then roll out of the other side... because on days like these, you have probably gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. ~ comforting hugsLyra |

A little late on this, but "Yes", I've been having a string of these kinds of days lately. I sympathize emphatically!!! Just remember "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"... Don't know who first said it, but it's kept me going thru this awful move from one apartment to another. Which I will write a poem about when I get unpacked. Keep yer chin up - hope whatever it was that triggered this poem has now moved out of your life, and that things have smooooooooothed out a bit. Cheers!! Sheila |

Yes there are days when I get on the road and almost immediately it becomes obvious to me that I have gotten behind either the worst or the stupidist drivers in this city...thats when I wish I could go back to bed and start the day all over again...James |
