Some Days

Every once in a while you get up in the morning and the sun is shining, the weather’s great and you just feel like crap. For some reason you’re mad at the world. Someone whistles good morning to you and you want to go over there and yank out every tail feather they have one by one, asking them ‘Are you having a good morning?’.

As a young bird, mom would say to me “If you’re going to be like that go over in the corner and eat worms.” which I’d do, but then I’d think ‘This is dumb, I like to eat worms.’ and somehow the day would magically get better.

Now that I think about it, ‘What the hell am I mad about? I’m going to go find some worms.’ Oh, and nice to see you, Good Morning!’
