It all went tits up, big style, as soon as this month started,
Somewhere in my life the threads have finally parted,
Delicate they may have been, but still they seemed to hold,
Until this month had started and then my life they sold!

The one-day operation had to venture into three,
It tried to venture further but I wouldn't let that be,
My Mother flipped her car, so she informed me on the phone,
My kids were in it with her so I wanted to get home!

The kids let out our greyhound and the warden picked him up,
He wanted lots of money but there's none left in my cup,
Thankfully a phone call made him change his stubborn mind,
Which makes me wonder if at heart he really is quite kind!

I left a pan of mince on boil and smoked my kitchen out,
The smoke alarms were useless so it's lucky I found out,
Now I have a layer of grime on everything in sight,
Surprise, surprise, insurance say that I must put it right!

Yippee, I have the finance now to get myself a car,
Shame that all the dealers are located miles too far,
Their web sites are confusing me, there's too much information,
I really think it's time I took a very long vacation!

Today a boy I've fancied for forever and a day,
Locked eyes with me and smiled and his attention came my way,
I felt so young and flirty and we played with words and looks,
And he's taking me out Thursday, so I'll be putting in my hooks!!

So I suppose the moral to this rhyme is never give up hope,
That no matter how tough life is there is always room for scope,
You can say that all my bad luck is to weigh out something good,
But if you really knew me then you'd know it never could!!!
