My week started out behind and then got worse. ;-)

Week That Was


It started out well-planned,

make a mark upon the day.

Make hay while the sun shines,

and accomplish all your goals.


Cyber Monday was to be used to,

discount all that had been waiting.

But discounts were only for others,

after all the switch and baiting.


But Giving Tuesday came along,

requiring effort, not just a song,

took all day to be that kind,

everything else got behind.


Found just the right image,

to illustrate the new book,

sadly, copyright became a hook,

requiring another way to look.


Suddenly, all email disappeared,

it was all right there at the servers,

but mocked trying to retrieve her,

resisting even escalated saviors.


Late in the day, with much left to do,

the wheelchair does a loop de loo.

"Something is broken," she declares.

Right wheel just spinning in de air.


Ready to go and my billfold is missing,

strangers are blamed, she's hissing,

not at all in the usual strange places.

But right where it fell in my car.


Off to a routine dental appointment,

the ramp side door decided to jam.

Guys at the body shop were out to lunch.

Luckily, damn door worked on a hunch.


All will be fixed in due time,

in the meantime, my tongue entwined,

it is aggravating on this glue,

left over from what dentists do!

I'm chuckling and empathizing as I reread your words. I think we've all had weeks like that.

Don't know how much of this is "true", you never know with a poem, but if it is, then here is wishing you a better day (week). The trials and tribulations all seem to be taken tongue in cheek, possibly a good attitude to have. PS: the light-colored script is very difficult to read.

Oh dear! We’ve all been there…
All part of this life journey!
Hope all is settled now…
Clever how you made it sound
so entertaining however!

I guess we've all had weeks like this. Thanks for reminding us, Ron. Okay, that was a little snarky, and it's good to know that we're all in the same boat.

Just got my email back after three days and five consultants at Hostgator and Apple. Turned out to be a really easy fix.

Hi Ron!The VERY BEST of the SEASON to you and your helpers. Try using toothpicks and a brush. Cheaper in the long run and safer. Hope your dentist was not Sir Lawrence Olivier??? Be that as it may, the pitfalls of the week gave you something to write about. And you gave us all something to quake about. Many thanks.
