Poem; It can't only happen to me!

Have you ever had one of those days,
Where nothing goes your way? And
You feel like leaving home, to roam.
Yesterday, I must say, was my
All, the day nearly drove me up
The wall!
I was feeling good, until I got
Out of bed, and hit my head,
I was seeing sun, moon, and stars!
But it did not end there, I'm sorry
To say, my toilet handle broke,
And I can't flush, so I go to use the
Other loo, and guess what, the
Seat broke, how I needed that
Plummer bloke. Three cold-call
Phones before dinner, no wonder
My patience is getting thinner.
I thought that was the end of
My bad luck for the day, but
When I opened the fridge door
The jam-pot fell out, broke all
over the floor. Little sharp pieces
Everywhere, how I despaired.
I stemmed that cut on my thumb
And made a cup of tea, then
Spilled it over me. Surely nothing
Else can go wrong, so I turn
The radio on. Ah! such sweet
Music to my ears, until I have
An electric cut, I've had enough!
Have you ever had one of those days,
Where you could scream, rant, and rave?
