A Parody of the Day’s Events

 

 Definition “a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing:”

No animals or vehicles came to any harm  in the making of this story.

I phoned our Doctor’s surgery last week and asked if my prescription could please be faxed to our Pharmacy.I was phoned the next day, to confirm exactly what was  needed, and was  told it would all be done.

===================================================

The surgery assured me, the prescription would surely be faxed,

and tablets that were all needed would be ready and waiting as asked.

I opened the garage door, not remotely, but by hand and brute force, that was me,

We forded the river, “ Go slowly”,  gumboots and  tow chain  if need be.

Some sheep blocked the  highway,  the heading dog doing his stuff

Then a tractor, that huge beast,  I knew it, I just had to be tough.

 

The wind had blown mightily all night, and a tree was blocking  our street

Hugh with his chainsaw,   with  everything  ready, quickly cleared it so neat.

 

Gumboots and sou-wester  I put on, as the rain continued to  pour

Finally we arrived at the Pharmacy front door.

Prescription for Jean, please, the surgery faxed it to you

“ Oh no, I’m so sorry,

the one they forgot to do”

Home again, a smooth trip, no obstacles blocking our way

And I guess I’ll do it again  tomorrow, maybe a much better  day.
