The Hendecasyllabic

A Just Shoot Me Day

It’s a just shoot me day, you know what I mean;
It’s the kind of day that occurs now and then
When the universe decides that it hates you
When the only thing that went right was the missed flight,
That cancelled the business trip you loathed to take.

It’s a just shoot me day, so stay home and play
Chess with your alter ego, call into work
Well. If someone ask for the true reason say:
“It’s a just shoot me day and I’m still in bed.”
