Prompt: Write a narrative poem where everything goes so hilariously wrong, you can't help, but laugh.
I wake up, rushing, headed out the door
When my pants suddenly hits the floor.
All of my neighbors sit there and laugh
I get out, saying bye to all the staff
I get on the bus, finally heading into work
When a black homeless man starts to twerk
Though, it's annoying, it's pretty funny, too
The cops are called, they do what they do
But his performance is one that's hard to forget
I'm almost to work, when we're stopped by a ferret .
The ferret was in the middle of the road, chilling
Everybody's heart on the bus, he was stealing.
My phone dings, it's my boss texting me
My heart races, my hands shake, anxiety
I sent her a picture and gave her my ETA
As I do that, it seemed to be doing ballet
But I texted my boss, sorry for the delay
When I got into work, ferret pictures everywhere
I laughed so hard, I fell and broke a chair
And oh no, baby, it did NOT stop there
Suddenly I hear a colleague say, "Grow a pair!"
I'm so glad she finally stood up to that man
Not long after, im in an ambulance van
And I think over the very eventful day
I had a realization, like no way
I remember going to eat at a restaurant- Chinese
And the fortune cookie said, "Slow down, please!"
And I chucked to myself, is this the universe speaking
And I laugh- a bit too hard- and now I'm shrieking!
