Wrong Side of the Bed
I woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed
Looked out the window saw a bird flying backwards
A cat chasing a dog
The mail man perched in a tree
Old lady Crosby being walked by a hog
Oh excuse me I think that’s her daughter (still she looked like a hog)
What the Sam hell was going on
I walked backwards down the stairs
Drank a cup of coffee grinds than ate the butter but not the toast
Ate an orange pill and drank the seeds
Still wondering why the mailman
Was sitting up in our tree
A glass of gin in one hand a beer in the other (where the hell was my mail)
In crawled my wife baking and howling
When I opened my mouth to speak I hissed and then meowed
Okay this was no ordinary day
The cat walked in speaking in my voice followed by the dog in curlers
Who barked like my wife and carried a rolling pin
Yeah that was the only normal part of that morning
I decided to go back to bed
Hoping when I woke up this damn
Hangover would be dead and this nightmare I was in would be over
And the ringing in my ears would shut the hell up, the mailman would no longer
Be up in my tree, the cat would be just that and the dog, well he and wife need to have
A talk, they are way too much alike
