stinky piece

someone said,
you may not be able to control how your day started,
but you can control how you react.

it was a lovely morning on a Friday the 13th
i got up as usual and headed for the office
came to my desk and wanted to sit
but stopped on seeing a white fabric on it

nothing spooky or anything like that
it was drenched but by then it was damp
if by water, we can go about our business
but by sweat - that's total gross-ness

on putting away the unpleasant thingy
it didn't return my desk back to the ordinary
the keyboard and mouse and pads and papers
played their part in drying the dampness

soon my saviour the cleaner came my way
i never appreciated her more than this day
to her and other days she did merely her duty
but today - to me - it was a great necessity

my manager upon knowing the unfortunate incident
wasted no time notifying the negligent
a public apology and an offer to compensate
could not undo what was done, so i said...

it's all right, it's okay, it's not that all bad
however gross or stinky it is, let's not be sad
i still will forgive and won't remember that
let's all have fun and have a great day, no sweat!

everyone knows and everyone cares
no hard feelings and we can all rest
we had fun as how we always do best
for a bad start to a day did not end sad

happy friday 13th
