Bad Day

Today all my hair fell out,
it fall into a neat pile on the floor.
I left it there for a little while, 
then swept it out the door.

Today none of my clothes would fit,
all the seams just tore.  
Now they too are in a neat pile,
lying on the floor.

Today all my nails broke,
each and every one. 
They cracked and peeled and flaked and chipped,
but now I think they're done.

Today I went blind in one eye,
and deaf in my left ear.
But as far as I can tell,
the vision in my right eye is still pretty clear.

Today after lunch all my teeth fell out,
they dropped onto my plate. 
As upset as I was,
I thanked god I had already ate.
