Did You Drive Your Broom To Work Today?

Did you get of bed with a grumbling roar?
Did you yell at the dog for not moving out of your way?
Did you greet your family with a scowl and a spattering of angry words?
Your coffee too weak, you scream.
Your toast too brown, you rant.
The children not quiet, you yell shut up.
You turn in haste and spill orange juice down your shirt.
You blame your wife for being in the way.
You change your shirt and slam out the door.
Jump on your broom with back wheels a squealin’.
You hit the curb and smash the mailbox.
Blame the mailbox for being in the way.
On the highway with the other brooms.
Honk-honk. Get out of the way.
Get to work an hour late.
It’s not your fault you are late.
It’s your wife’s fault, the kids, the dog, the other brooms on the highway.
It’s their fault not yours.
The pressure of work is on.
The air conditioner is broke.
The temperature three hundred degrees
Building maintenance says it’s not their job.
Fix it yourself, they say as they grouch out the door.
The boss says you have to work late -
You yell and scream and holler............“No!”
You fight traffic all the way home; one broom brushes your backend.
You give him that uncouth hand sign as you speed on by a lickety split.
Home in bed you turn out the lights.
As you drift off to sleep you think-
Just another day in Purgatory can’t wait until tomorrow.
Then your wife screams.
“ Stop snoring and kicks you out of bed.”
As you regain your spot on the bed you dream of cool seashores, sunlight, and of things that might have been,
but these dreams will not come to pass
for now dear grouch you are in the realm of
PURGATORY.

LOL
Love Bon-Bon

I want you to know that I am having a team of professionals sweep my house looking for hidden cameras and/or recording devices. If they are found I fully intend to prosecute you for invasion of privacy. How could you describe my life so accurately?!?!?!

Actually, brooms are very outdated. We ride vacuum cleaners now. Mine's an Electro-Lux!!

Happy New Year, Bonnie

Bon-Bon,
His heart is caught a spiders web
From mornings tide until its ebb
And he's enwrapped in shrouds of store
And twists and turns in angst of awe.
From a poem I just wrote.

I did all that yesterday, and the day before...with good reason! Then had a friend talk sense into me -- wonderful to have at least one person who can walk in on you, sit down and give it to you straight...that's a friend for sure.

And today....all better!

I'm so glad I went shopping for my favorite people this morning...I'd have missed this beauty...

...and her poem!

Great read Bonnie j. Sorry no broom here. Heck it is next to impossible for me to wake up on the wrong side of the bed. I just like life to much I suppose. Every day is a good day when I get to come read all this wonderful poetry. Keep it up dear friend.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

Happy New Day everyone. Glad you all got a smile out of this silliness.
This is one of my favorite sayings when someone comes around with a boulder on their shoulder.
Another one of mine is. " Boy it sure is hard to get on the bus with a boulder on my shoulder, can't make those sight turns."
Have a great day folks.
See Ya Love Bon-Bon
