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?
