Poem 144: A Day In The Life

Last night ended with my team going down in defeat

I am just happy that they are showing that they can compete

Their season is starting to turn around has they have won seven of their last ten

Hopefully they won’t fall back into another terrible slump once again

Watched some you tube videos later into the night

Then decided to call it a day and then turned off my light

Got up early this morning just before the sun

Then proceeded to go on my ritual dog run

Put on a reflective vest in order to be seen

Then walked  around our town in my fluorescent green

Last night I had no intentions of taking the walk this morning

Figured it was going to be impossible due to the heavy snowfall warning

Turns out this storm starts later on today

So I hooked the pooch to his leash and we proceeded on our way

My dog has issues with snowballs clinging to his feet

This morning I changed my route to be close to the city streets

So now we were on the sidewalks because they are usually clear

Will get back to our old trails when spring returns next year

Eventually I got back to Memorial Drive and continued on our stroll

The path I took however, was a kilometer short of my goal

The whole idea is to get all my ten thousand steps in before I reach home

So I will have to add on another few blocks next time I get out to roam

Once inside I turned on my computer and it went into a crash

Hopefully I will be able to fix it without having to spend any cash

I am now at the crossroads of having to upgrade to windows eleven

When I purchased this one, it was using number seven

Do I tinker more with this and try to get it to run?

Or upgrade to windows eleven and purchase another one?

It’s much too close to Christmas for me to have to decide

I’ll just stick to the laptop and for now let it ride

I have no time right now to try to get it to go

I have to save all my energy for shoveling snow

I’m looking out the window and see the flakes starting to fall

Could this weather warning prove to be right after all?

We could get twenty five centimeters before it’s finally through

It certainly isn’t something that I am looking forward to

So in the morning it’s looking like we will be covered all in white

Hopefully the snow we have to move will prove nice and light

I’m hoping before tomorrow morning when we have to begin

My team’s fortune will be better tonight and will end with a win
