The Day When Everything Went Wrong

I Wake Up To The Sound Of Chirping Birds
Thinking What A Lovely Day;
But Little Did I Know Of The Misfortunes
That Were About To Come My Way!!

Smiling I Enter The Kitchen…
But Oh There’s Water All Around
God!! How Cold I Forget To Close The Tap
My Smile Turns Into A Frown

I Long For A Hot Water Bath
But Alas! The Water Is Cold As Ice
Chattering And Shivering I Ask The Almighty
“What Have I Done To Pay This Price??”

I Step Out In My Best Suit
I Have An Important Presentation Today
Oooohhhhh… Thuuddd…Ouccchhhh….Why Didn’t I See
The Banana Peel Thrown In My Way??

With A Confident Smile I Put In The Cd..To Start My Presentation I Am All Set
Oh God !!! What Is Hritik Doing On The Screen
I’ve Got The Wrong CD !!! How Bad Could Things Now Get??

With A Broken Heel…..And The Boss’s Wrath
The Day Ahead Looks Gloomy And Long
I Count Each Minute For Waiting For The Day To End
The Day When Everything Went Wrong!!
