A Beer, A Bath, and A Book
Cure For a Sad Day
I am sad today
not getting what I want
loved ones absent
missing orange tabby cat

I am sad today
art project gone awry
the clock eating up hours
nothing tasty for lunch
I am sad today
too much sad news
too much unrequited love
too much to say and no words
I am sad today
I get in my tub
with a beer
and a book
I am somewhere else
a far away land
with far away tales
and fairy tale endings
I am sad today
this is how I cope
what about you?
