Today I Had a Rotten Day

When did you have your worst day of your life? Was it really the worst? Well you might not think that your day was that bad after reading this poem. It goes to show that you should indeed listen to your teachers when they tell you to do something.

My pencil poked me in the thigh.
I got an eyelash in my eye.


I sprained my back. I wrenched my neck.
I’m feeling like a total wreck.
So that’s the last time I refuse
when teacher says to tie my shoes.
