THE FUNNIEST DAY OF MY LIFE
It was the funniest day of my life,
How could I get into so much strife.
The day started with a lovely rosy glow,
For what was ahead, I did not know.
The first thing to go a-wry
Was my hair, it all pointed to the sky.
Next to go wrong, were my poor feet
As I skated on marbles down the street.
The only way I could come to a stop
Was to dive full-length into a shop.
It was my lucky day, it has been said,
For I landed on top of a luxury bed.
Everyone clapped and cheered for all their worth,
For I looked as if I was 'riding the surf'.
Things went smoothly for a while,
I was able to shop in a manner of style.
Then I reached to the top of the stand
For a packet of biscuits, (in big demand).
With a 'Whoosh' and a river of packets of brown
I was swept away; I cried "I will drown!"
So as I sat there looking for a way out,
All I could do was laugh; there is no doubt
That even with no trumpets or fife
It has been the funniest day of my life!
