My Gloomy Day
All Coke cans were empty
As I shuffled down the hall.
There were cobwebs on the ceiling,
And gray dust was on the wall.
The sun was much too sunny.
The snow was all but melted.
There was just enough for snowballs,
And with them I was pelted.
My algebra wasn't finished.
The dishes were not done.
Then low gray clouds took over,
And I couldn't see the sun.
That's how I slowly realized
Those clouds were just as bad
As sunshine that was sunny
And snow that couldn't be had.
