Not My Day

This is a poem I really enjoy reading. I would have to give it 5 stars.



                             Not My Day- By Russel Hoban
                                   I got up on the wrong side of the day
                                    and came right off; it walked away
                                    showing the whites of its eyes "Stop!"
                                    I said, "I mean to get on the top
                                   of you." It kept on going;
                                   I followed, knowing
                                   days don't always do
                                    exactly what you'd like them to

                                     "Stand still" I said "I'm going to try again"
                                    I thought I heard it neigh a little,then
                                     it kept on walking while I stood there talking
                                      'All right' I said, (it sounded like a threat)
                                        'I'll see you later' But I haven't yet.




                                                   I love it! How about you?
