and then one day

and then one day you do a load of laundry
and there is a lot of water on the basement floor
so you mop it up
move stuff around
and get on with it
and then one day stuff backs up
from the drain in the basement
icky yucky muck
and you mop it up and get on with it
and then one day more comes up again
again and again
and you have a plumber out to help
to stop the icky yucky muck
from coming back again
and it works for awhile
until one day
when it all comes back up again in the basement
and you have another plumber guy out
and he does his thing
fingers crossed that this time it works
and the icky yucky muck won't be back anytime soon
and then on the same day there is what was forecast as
'torrential rain' comes pouring down
and spots on the roof leak
and then on that day you think
'yeah, i guess today is a day like any other day
in this summer we're having
in this year
of all kinds of things'
and you take a bit of comfort reminding yourself
that tomorrow is another day
