Ode to Dang It

With a whimper and a cry
My day will limp along
Gloomy mood
Hit by sour sales
After I claimed success
Lost track of time
No urge to bike
Breakfast tasted funny
Stubbed my toe on toys
Yanked to the ground by earbuds
Still connected to their source
With a whimper and a cry
My day will limp along

                                                                                                                                                     

Seriously, did I break a mirror with a black cat while standing under a ladder, which angered a voodoo user that cursed me?  I have to go to my son’s school at noon and I’m nervous about getting behind the wheel.

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    You poor guy! Think of this though. Your book has done better than MANY other books out there.

    It’s one of those days – get what absolutely has to be done, safely, then retreat to couch or bed with good book/favorite movie – it will be better tomorrow! 🙂
