No bombs fell

Andrew Green Poetry April 7, 2018April 2, 2018 1 Minute

I’m running late
I didn’t sleep
The weather’s foul
The trains on strike.
The roads are clogged
The car won’t start.
I drank too much
We had a row
I made a mess
Forgot some stuff.

But no bombs fell on us today
Our home is safe
We’ll get to eat.
No sniper aimed a gun at me
My children all came home they’re safe.
Our house still stands.
We have no war.
Our minor problems hold no sway
For us today’s our lucky day.
