Bad Mood

To My Mood, I Shall Not Succumb.

Outside, the sun is shining,

Inside, it is raining,

The kids are always complaining,

And my man won't stop mansplaining!

The laundry never stops,

And now;

I need the shops,

I'm losing my mind today,

It's probably a bad hair day.

Hell has broken loose,

There's a fight in my lounge,

I just wanna scream,

My lungs are bursting at their seams!

I slam the kettle on,

The dog has done a great big pong!

As if that wasn't enough,

The kids now think they're tough.

I put the television on,

Seems everyone is in a mood,

But out I must go;

Now, we need food!

I feel as purple as a thunder cloud,

And in my head, lightning strikes,

But as sad as today has become;

To my mood,

I will not succumb!
