Bad Day
FC Dear Edie #1
Dear Edie,
I’m always on a quest for new words to use in daily life, especially ones that make people question whether or not they are real (which is why I still love to use words like discombobulated and kerfuffle).
So, when our lovely (and patient) Sunita Chakraborty taught me snollygoster — and proposed writing a poem, including limericks — I not only voted in favor of the prompt, but I also had to oblige:
It had been a long long day at the office
And a long long drive home
An accident on the highway caused such a frenzy
Yet still nothing compared to the chaos I left at work
My manager was somewhat a snollygoster
Took credit for any improvements I’d foster
But whenever anything failed
Surely, he’d be the one that bailed
He truly was a nasty imposter
I kicked off my shoes upon entering my home
Disgusted by the mess left behind by my two teens
Dirty gym socks and sports equipment littered the foyer
And is that a slice of leftover pizza in the hall?!
