Daniel Powter: Bad Day
Crawled into bed,
couldn’t take any more.
Went home angry,
locked the door,
Took it back
and had a fight,
Bought a pen
that didn’t write,
Kicked it twice
and stubbed my toe,
Got stuck in the elevator,
it wouldn’t go,
Broke my glasses,
lost my keys,
Sprained my ankle,
skinned my knees,
Slipped on the sidewalk
in the pouring rain
I overslept
and missed my train,
