He Woke Up

He woke up on the wrong side of life …one day…  
Felt like nothing had ever gone well,  
 
'twere the morning after the night before
...he had the headache from hell...
 
His poor noggin hurt like the devil  
between his ears rang a large bell  
 
Base drums beat a cacophony...that  
threatened to take up the revel...
 
an atonal symphony...better
suited to bedevil.
 
All things being equal...he went back to bed
....marking the day as a loss...

tomorrow would be another day
... he'd try again  ...then...
