Excellent Meanwhile, a couple days ago... Routinus Interruptus by Mike Stevens

Woke up blind in the middle of the night Cold and dark hanging from bed to ceiling No power meant no heat or coffee Five fitful hours of on and off sleep Then the power came back on, hallelujah Everything on track for the daylight attack Just as quick as it appeared, it outed again My spirits plunged to the basement, Which was a trick, since we don't have one Morning stayed dark as I arose at six, Stumbled my way through breakfast By flashlight’s light, twisted shadows and swear word oaths kept me company Then let there be light it was back on, All was right as rain, until I tried the T. V. A fresh burst of nasty erupted from my face Cable’s still out which means no internet So here I sit waiting impatiently, moodily Curse words squelched with effort As there’s nothing I can do, it’s routinus Inturruptus: thrown off normal by abnormal!
