Unglued

One of those days...

I’m having a hole-in-the-wall day

Nothing feels quite right

Maybe I’ll sweep it under the rug

And loosen my sleep tight

 

My ruffled feathers sank like a stone

My watched pot just won’t boil

My knickers are in a mighty twist

My perfect pitch is spoiled

 

My notions are coming out half-baked

My wild card’s been subdued

I guess that’s just what happens when

The mind has come unglued

Author's Note

Those knickers are driving me crazy...

A hole in the wall day. I never heard this saying before. What does it mean? It sounds cool though. I wonder now if I may h Ave had one, lol.

[Rita L. Sev]

Just a bunch of disjointed idioms to express how scrambled I was feeling that day. Thanks, Mike!

[Antoinette Tarsitano-Mo..]

Although you have your mind unglued at times, we love ya to bits!

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! That was a crazy day, if I recall... Thank you, dear Cookie!

[Constance Payne]

Oh I SOOOOOOOOOO understand this poem. An unglued mind is a terrible thing to have and mine has been cracked for years.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Yes, some days it really feels this way... :) Thanks so much, Constance!

[Baby Ricochet]

Bad night hey? Well, this is a good poem in rhyme and meter so that's something, right?

[Rita L. Sev]

That was a whirling, crazy day... Thanks!

OH, you make me giggle till my tummy hurt!!
I love reading your stuff.
You need to publish this stuff, and share it with the world.
Much as I'd like for the WC to keep you all to ourselves...

[Rita L. Sev]

Glad to give giggles (sorry about the tummy!) Thank you, as always, Angel!

[Harrisen Viator]

Yeah, the feeling of your mind coming unglued.. Such a familiar place, feeling as if everything is just going wrong and what's worse, you can't even focus in order to make life go right. Great poem and I like the rhyming.

Thanks, Harrisen. Fortunately, I seem to have been re-glued since then!
