A Difficult Week
On Sunday my computer crashed, and no-one could restore it.
In fact, they all just laughed at it and called it prehistoric.
My backup disks were useless – they were 1980s floppies,
The digital equivalent of corsets and jalopies.
On Monday I was notified that jury duty beckoned.
It clashed with my vacation planned for May the 22nd.
I called the court and told them of my gay black Nazi passion.
"We welcome all minorities", they said in deadpan fashion.
On Tuesday, in a shopping mall, I tripped and broke my glasses.
And now I cannot see a thing, including where my ass is.
I don't wear contact lenses, as they're awkward and expensive,
And so I made my way back home—unsure and apprehensive.
On Wednesday, I was scared to drive and had to call a cabbie.
"You need to pray for help", he said – "I'll take you to the abbey."
So off we went to talk to God but wound up at confession.
The priest believed my problems stemmed from some obscure transgression.
On Thursday an acquaintance called and begged me for some money.
"I'm broke," I said, "but know a priest who'll lend you some baloney."
"The Talents parable?" he sneered. "It's dollars that I'm after!"
He then jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge and sank into the water.
On Friday, I was thankful that the week would soon be over.
