A Perfectly Rare Day

Have you ever had one of those days -

Where everything seems to go right?

The lights go green, the skies turn blue,

And the fish take every bait bite?

*

They may be rare and far between,

But they have been known by me.

If you don’t believe me, I will tell you the tale

Of the twenty four hours l spent in pure glee.

*

The morning started sunny side up,

Not a cloud amongst the rays,

My eggs perfectly cooked,

And my bed already made.

*

My teeth brushed themselves,

And I woke without a care

To hit the snooze button until it stopped,

Or to curse the early air.

*

With a spring in my step I floated down the stairs,

I sauntered round the flat,

I found my coffee heated perfectly

Next to my well-contented cat.

*

My day started lovely,

But was only to proceed

In a manner most peculiarly

One unbelievable indeed.

*

At the beach I found myself

Making friends with a shark,

His bark worse than his bite,

He showed his teeth for just a lark.

*

Then later I walked down the street,

Met a pair of identical twins,

They both were ambidextrous,

And could play the violin.

*

But this wasn’t their only talent,

They reminded me as well,

They had both been struck by lightning,

And had lived to tell the tale.

*

Their stories inspired me,

So I went to try my hand,

To roll the dice and test my luck

To find great riches in the land.

*

To my surprise,

it was just that kind of day,

I picked all the perfect numbers,

And the rest is history, so they say.

*

I won the lottery fair and square,

I cashed in all my winnings,

But I left my wallet at the store,

The buck stopped before beginning.
