It's Just One Of Those Days Poem by Smoky Hoss

The cat's stuck in a tree
and she's blaming me,
the fire department didn't show
and it's beginning to snow,
the man on the news
is singing the blues,
bad times are the norm...
looks like it just might storm,
there's trouble brewing all across the land...
how much can an average man stand,
I believe I'm nearly done in
so I head up to the highway, to do some thumbin',
but, all day long only one guy stops...
he says he'd give me a ride, if I was a girl
... oh, what have I ever done wrong in this old world,
I flag down a cab, but don't have the fare
so, he drives off leaving me alone out there;
I stick my hand in my coat pocket, walk into the 7-11
say, give me all the money or you're going to heaven,
the man reaches slowly into the till, pulls out a gun
and says, why don't you just turn and walk away son,
I thank him kindly, and back out the door...
guess I'm not welcome there anymore,
I decide to go back home, call it a day...
I steal the neighbors shovel along the way;
the cat's on the porch crying...
she just couldn't take the snow once it started flying,
I shovel off the walk, then we both go inside...
share a beer, and come to the same conclusion:
we didn't get very far today...but, we both damned sure tried!
