Monday Blues

Monday Blues

Tossing and turning
Monday has come
Over the weekend.
My roof sprung a leak
Can't stop thinking
expense, expense, expense
DAMN What a start
to another week.
Got out of bed
My feet are freezing
Heating has gone off.
Monday blues hits again
if this is the beginning
I am dreading the end.
At the bus stop
I miss the bus
gonna be late for
my hospital therapy.
Calls for a taxi only,
for it to breakdown
halfway across town.
Walking to the
hospital entrance
Rain is pouring down
Icicles hanging from my
poor dripping nose.
Trips in a puddle
Damn  down I go.
Good job I am here
stitches are needed on
my poor knee.
Got to my appointment
In trouble for being late
Everyone's staring
cos I am in such a state
the nurse takes one look
bless her and bumps me
up the list.
Stay in the background
away from the evil peaks
It was so hard sitting there
quietly when all
I felt like was yelling.
The nurse finally called
my name,
what do I do trip over my
own feet and go down again.
But as I do that
I break the flimsy chair.
Don't you dare laugh,
yer its funny now you see
at the time, I would have
ripped you a new one.
then you wouldn't laugh at me
Finally got up
I've hurt my back
As I sat up
I hear a loud CRACK!
The nurse just looks and says
I'll just get you a chair
in she comes with one with wheels
Doctor finally seen
This wasn't my day
blood pressure to high
stress of the charts.
told to behave are they having a laugh
They checked my heart rate again
Found its not right once more
sent me straight up to the cardiac floor
I started to cry.
Sobbed all the way up there
Can't face another operation again.
will have to wait and see
but one thing is for sure.
Another day like this will
be the end of me for sure.
