Aah... home again.
I kick back and relax,
long day at the office you see...
With my coffee in hand, book on lap.
"Kerplop", what was that?!

A bit annoyed I get up off the couch,
move over to the table,
What the--  
I see my bag on the floor, funny,
but bags don't fall just like that.

Pick it up, and toss it on my bed, walk to couch,
"CRASH!" , "ok now this is getting annoying"
I say to myself, as I walk over to the table to see,
OH DEAR my coffee!
"What in the world is happening to me?"

I set the book on the table, get a mop from the closet,
A Kerplunk... greets me as I walk back, mop in hand,
what do I see, my book on the floor swimming in coffee!

"Oh the calamity, oh the annoyance!"
I yell to no one in particular.
Pick up book, swish the mop, clean the mess.

I get back to the couch, lost in thought,
"SWISH!"
I look up to see,
OH NOOO!, There goes my new cup,
"CRASH!!"
... and there went my coffee...
Truly this is a trying day for me.
