What a Week!

So many daft things have happened to me this week.

This has been a week I will not forget.

I’ve spent all my time rushing about.

So many daft things have happened

I’m beginning to suffer self doubt.

I dropped a bottle of vinegar.

It spread under the cupboard door.

I’ve tried so hard to erase the pong

As it’s something no one can ignore.

Next I left my trolley on the bus.

I tried but I couldn’t get it back.

I had to go and purchase a new one

Which I tripped over giving my knee such a whack.

Then while eating my breakfast cereal

My crown fell out into the bowl.

I ran to the sink to wash it clean

But it disappeared down the plughole.

So now I’ve got a big gap in front

Which is not a very pleasant sight,

And a new crown will cost a fortune,

Quite tough when finances are tight.

By now I was feeling quite foolish

Why do all these things happen to me?

I’m finding old age is not so much fun

As I always hoped it would be.

But then we ate out on my birthday,

Which turned out to be a real treat.

I had candles and cake and the waiters sang

And it made my bad week replete.

You never told about that birthday. Anyway, I suppose it was just days ago so I wish you a belated birthday. Take it easy Christine, bad things happen once in a while regardless of age. A hilarious poetry here.

So, finally, your week went off. It was an enjoyable life exploration, wasn’t t? Wonderful read, and clicked you “liked it”
Lady Fantasy on Mar 30, 2010
Sounds like u need to find a comfy chair,a good book and a cup of tea if it dont affect your missing crown.What a week you had and hope the following week is much better.

Hehehe … damn I have them days often … my teeth haven’t fallen out yet
Jimmy Shilaho on Mar 30, 2010
Very funny but if its true, I really feel for you.
yes me on Mar 30, 2010
Christine just give a little whistle…. enjoy the gap while you can.
he he…. sorry for the fun I poke but we have to laugh after the facts or cry, a laugh is much healthier. we all have bad days or weeks I am on jury duty all this week, and because of the cuts we are all finding they expect me to sit at home then call them in the evening to see if I will be used the next day so they do not have to pay my expenses, but I am self employed I do peoples homes up for them plaster paint flooring ect, but had to put aside a whole week of my life to do my civic duty. not funny but a good rest.

An enjoyable poem but if its age then my son must be on a fast track to adulthood!!! He came of him BMX on Friday and had to be cut out by the firebrigade as his leg was stuck(thankfully no injuries other than embarrassment!). Then on the Saturday took a fall on his pogo stick and badly bruised his ankle, then yesterday he walked past the settee and stubbed his toe cutting it quite badly!!!! Not letting him do anything today!!!

A good funny poem which really made me laugh!!!

Happy belated birthday! I’ve had some weeks like this myself.

Happy birthday Christine! Sometimes my days are just not right, funny things can happen, I will ask myself “WHY ME?”….but you can compose a cute poem out of it.
Darla Cooke on Mar 30, 2010
Happy Birthday!
Sourav on Mar 30, 2010
Happy Birthday! Liked the poem… great that the week ended so well!
Pam Stushnoff on Mar 30, 2010
Happy birthday! Mine was on Mar. 29 and I spent the day renovating a rental house of mine. The last thing I did before quitting was take down half the new tile I spent all day installing because I had cut it wrong. Anyway you are not alone in KlutzVille – I am sure I am your neighbor just down the road!
diamondpoet on Mar 30, 2010

Sharif Ishnin on Mar 30, 2010
There can only be so much low points in the week. It’s was your turn to shine by then. Lovely and a real treat.
Ruby Hawk on Mar 30, 2010
LOL, it sounds like some of my weeks, makes you want to throw up your hands and shout. And what is a trolley, (that you left on the bus?)
giftarist on Mar 30, 2010
Nice piece. And Happy Happy Birthday!
petercurtis97 on Mar 30, 2010
oh my goodness what a week, a comedy of errors, maybe with the crown you could find a cheaper option if u chatted with your dentist.
PR Mace on Mar 30, 2010
You know I pulled this one up earlier and I had a title but no body of work. Sorry you have had such a bad time but at least your birthday was grand. Happy Later Birthday to you. My husband just had to have a new crown and your right they cost a pretty penny.
Eunice Tan on Mar 30, 2010
What a good poem. Happy Birthday Christine.
standingproud on Mar 31, 2010
Funny dear old lady hahaha…
Happy happy B-Day Christine ♥X♥
Christine Ramsay on Mar 31, 2010
Thank you for your sympathy. LOL. Everything was actually true. I am still without my crown and I find it so hard not to smile at people and there is still a pong in the kitchen drowned a little by all the bleach I have used trying to get rid of it. My knee is just about better but rather a yellowy blue colour. I’m quite proud of it really.

Happy Belated Birthday! It sounds like you had a pretty bad week. That is really good that your birthday dinner made up for such a hectic week. My birthday is next Friday (April 9th) and I hope that it will be okay too.
