i have to confess
and it pains me to say
i am not always happy
and can have a bad day

the kind where everything
just makes you mad
the kind when your husband
is oh so glad

that he can leave
you alone with your angst
and kiss you goodbye
and to the lord give thanks

the wrong side of the bed?
doesn’t even begin to describe
the type of day i am having
that i just can’t keep inside

my moods they swing
like day into night
so don’t ask me to explain
i just don’t feel right

so please don’t cut me off
you must signal before you brake
and take my parking spot, today
would be a big mistake

smile when you bag
my groceries at the store
and if you walk in front of me
you better hold the door.

yes i am not always cheery
and in a good mood
so try to be nice to me
don't think about being rude

when you take my order
please smile and say hello
when i pay the cashier
thank me before i go

they say you should let it out
it’s not good to keep it inside
my poor hubby gets the worst of it
everyone else, can run and hide

but truthfully you will never know
the kind of mood i am in
as long as you are nice to me
i’ll treat you as a friend

just show me respect that’s due
and i will give it back
don’t tempt the wrath of grace
with manners you may lack

so a word to the wise
on this hot, muggy day
it will be very easy to tick me off
so just stay out of my way

soon this mood will go
and this day will come to its end
and tomorrow should be better
unless i wake up angry again.

oh there’s one last thing
something i really have to say
it’s that well, i actually feel great
i just needed a theme for today

but if one day i do wake-up
feeling absolutely mad!
these words will all be written
and for that i will be glad

a pre-emptive strike
against such a cloudy day
may be all i’ll really need
to kiss those blues away


I hope your day
is not going this way!!
