Not Half Bad
“How’s your day?”
“Not half bad”
“What happened to the other half I wonder?”
Coffee was a bit old and bitter
this morning,
didn’t sleep so well last night,
cloudy, rainy weather today,
the evening news was a bit disturbing,
too much discontent and disconnect
along the line.
Feel a little on edge for no apparent reason
kids didn’t call this week, or
I didn’t.
Credit card over the limit this month
and now I need new tires.
The Japanese Maple,
in the side garden
died, couldn’t wait for the rain,
or too much sun.
I don’t have all the answers,
not even half sometimes.
“How was your day?”
“Not half bad, I can say with certainty.”
And that makes me feel so much better!
