What a life! ha ha Even semi true, that's too much to handle. I can see the frustration in my mind's eye. One thing for sure is that your blood pressure will rise on its own...

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A fun sonnet and I enjoyed the sentiments here and I have had days like this where everything seems to go wrong!
The only line I struggle with was this one as I believe (cryin) is out of meter, but you may just have got away with it because you shortened the word.
'But I'M too OLD for THIS, CRYin' out LOUD!'
Love Dolly x

Comment from Dorinda Palmisano
This is such an enjoyable read. You rhyming is quite delightful. It is right there when you think it won't be. Such a fun topic handled so slickly. Thanks for a great story

And thank YOU, Dorinda, for such welcome comments. They are much appreciated.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
Sometimes when we say out loud or write down the non-life-threatening things bothering us, they seem not so bad--individually. When you add them up, the true plight becomes more obvious. Your poem is vividly descriptive and very well-written.

It was about half and half, truth and fiction.
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Well, it seems your day got off to a bad statrt. I don't blame you for going back to bed. I enjoyed your sonnet, Mystery Writer. Good job on its style. Your words read smooth with great imagery. The picture is a great pairing. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Thanks, Jan.
Only parts of it are true, some, like my rhymes, took off on its own. :)
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written sonnet with a very different topic. I can feel and understand the poet's frustration about the things around us that are above our comprehension and we feel we can just as well go back to bed .

thanks,Sandra! Much appreciated.
some are true, some are not - still enough to be frustrating.
Comment from Iza Deleanu
Yup, we all have one day like this, when everything falls apart, and it seems like the end of the world. "My cell phone died when tried to add upgrade
I lost all pictures 'cause they weren't in cloud
The kids today can do this without aid!
But I'm too old for this, cryin' out loud!
My car door wasn't tight, my "battry's" dead,
Oh, help! Enough! I'm going back to bed." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
(typo: ad upgrade s/b add) This is a treat--so clever and wryly humorous--self-aware that your disasters are of no concern to others--good punchline. Cheers. LIZ
