Opposite Day
A humorous take on a strange morning
My toaster wants to be a microwave
My microwave wants to an oven/range
My dishwasher is dancing a jig and acting truly strange
...
The coffee maker is percolating ice cream
While the freezer spits out hail
And I'm pretty sure my lettuce just morphed into kale
...
While my dog is using the litterbox
My cat just darted past, a mouse in hot pursuit
By the way, my chihuahua is looking quite hirsute
...
My daughter wants to play football
While my son is taking ballet
The last would be fine if he wasn't pirouetting on a sleigh
...
I fix a cup of hot ice cream
Sweetened by stirring in some fudge
Wondering if my dryer is holding on me a grudge
...
My dryer sheets are floating in the wind
My socks are linty, my whites flourescent pink
I hope the alcohol is still beneath the sink
...
My wife told me it was going to be opposite day
And to expect things to be weird
Still this is all something, I think, to be feared
...
I stumble back to the bedroom
Now a closet strewn with hangers
I crawl beneath hanging clothes to find a couple strangers
...
I offered them hot fudge coffee
Which they took with polite thanks
Before stabbing each other with dull prison shanks
...
Now the cops are here
My house a bloody crime scene
No more opposite day, this is all quite obscene
