'Backwards Kind Of Day' Poem by Linda Winchell

I put the cart before the horse last night
and put out the cheese before I set the trap.
I shut the barn door after the cows got out
now what was up with that?

I have had a backwards kind of day today
not ever knowing what to do or say.
I've twisted everything around
have YOU ever acted in this way?

Said, ' I would like a hup of cot chocolate'
'pace my capers on my desk'
I was trying not to backwards things
I was trying really to do my best!

I promise to turn this day around
but I can't seem to find my way.
For I've made a mess on my desk
in a backwards kind of way.

Seems I drove my car to work backwards
taking me most of the morning to get to work.
Then while sitting backwards in my parking spot
people looked at me, like I was some kind of jerk!

I hope tomorrow is better
much better then today.
I don't think I can take another one
of these backwards kind of days.
