Two Bad Things

Two bad things occurred today,

Despite the sunny sky.

While sitting on my favorite bench,

A skeevy rat ran by.

 

It shook me up so I went home

And when I got the mail,

A jury summons told me

I must serve or go to jail.

 

Now which is worse? I wonder.

Both of them made me upset.

When living in Manhattan,

That’s the luck you sometimes get.
