The Good, The Bad and The Rhyming

The car got robbed, Nate got a job.
The car is sold, I have a cold.
I have some tea, my feet are stinky.
Monday is a holiday, it is almost the end of May.

I was going to try to write more than that, but I'm very congested and I hate it very much.

Ugh.

The Orange

The Orange
(by Wendy Cope)

At lunchtime I bought a huge orange
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—
They got quar­ters and I had a half.

And that orange it made me so happy,
As ordi­nary things often do
Just lately. The shop­ping. A walk in the park
This is peace and con­tent­ment. It’s new.

The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all my jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I’m glad I exist.
