The Valley that Calls by Deniz Besim - HTML preview

An Unfortunate Day

I overslept and to work I was late,

I got a good telling off by my boss,

It was clear with me he was very cross,

Plus I missed an important meeting date,

I realised my boss split up with his mate,

When my sad boss lowered my yearly gross,

He made me feel like brown, cold, slimy moss,

And pointed out I'd put two stones of weight.

The bad day I had didn't get better,

I had no umbrella when thunders broke,

The walk home was about to get wetter,

For fairly heavy rains now had me choke.

In my hands I was clasping a letter

And droplets of rain would the paper poke.
