I'll give it a try!

It seems at times that nothing goes well a friend gets angry the kids argue the cat throws up the dog eats your steak Oh me oh my I'd like to cry Someone steals your credit card you got 1000 emails in one day all spam and junk mail hubby loses his job and is rear ended on the way home then gets a speeding ticket I have no clue of what to do our furnace gave up the ghost on the coldest day so far this winter as 24 inches of snow flaked down shutting off electricity in our area and covering the wood we use in the woodburning stove oh for some heat to warm my feet it seems the closet has shrunk all my clothes and the dog chewed my new shoes while the dryer lost one of all my socks so now I must wear two colors of socks with my ruined shoes what do I care a pair is rare I accidentally grabbed the cat's tail when I meant to grab my warm gloves the cat jumped two feet into the air landed on my head for a second then leaped onto the sleeping dog who jumped and crash landed on the computer keyboard what's going on I'm set upon my tv is broke my 'puter is frozen the cd player spins and makes not a sound the roof is leaking the car has two flat tires and the dog ran away oh can it be I have bad chi but through all these irregularities I have managed to keep a smile on my face and thank the Lord for blessings like falling asleep at night and not getting run over by a car or abducted by an alien ufo the world is daft if one can laugh � Joyce P.

Your "try" at this form turned into one spectacular accomplishment. In the words of an old friend, "We don't get very far in this life without being able to laugh at ourselves." Thank you so much for sharing the laughter through these brilliant lines.

I think this may be one of the best I've read so far in Jerry's new form. I really like it! OH, on dreams. I'm a dreamer myself, but in a bit of foul mood last night, and so that poem was born. LOL. ~~Nordette

You have me laughing this morning, Joyce - especially about the cat barf, and the dogs eating shoes - something I live with every day around these parts. I hope you're staying warm. And you're right, it could always be worse.

Hahahahaha!!!!! Damn, but this is funny, funny, funny and I am so grateful that you decided to give my septcouplet a try, thank you for the honor. Really, this is just too funny for words, but not for you, because you put the words all in the right place.
