Mistaken identity
22 July 2022
Orange juice on my fly,
No sleep in my eyes.
Scotch spilt on my shoes,
Reading last week’s news.
Coveralls, oily wrench,
Catching lunch park bench.
Lip kissing my best friend,
“Oh! He’s one of them”.
Left my keys at bar,
Breaking into car.
Checking a back seat,
Now I’m peeking Pete.
Naked in the dark,
Cop says nasty lark.
Holding the water hose,
Sprayed on my own clothes.
Food left on my face,
Shoes still unlaced,
Shirt ripped and torn,
Mistaken? Lots of scorn!
Candles on my cake,
Heirs can hardly wait.
Writing this sad poem.
Should’a stayed at home.
