Day 7 - prompt   challenged to write a poem that argues against or somehow questions a proverb or saying. They say that "all cats are black at midnight" but really? Surely some of them remain striped.

Maybe there is an ill wind that blows no good. Perhaps that wind just has some mild dyspepsia.

Whatever phrase you pick, I hope you have fun complicating its simplicity.

Happy writing!

Wrong Side of Bed!

if you`re found to be grumpier in the morning

it`s said you got out of the wrong side of bed

this proverb insinuated that this is bad

could be as simple as you banged your head!

there`s no real difference to what side you use

getting out of bed and dressed is what`s needed

some say the left side is unluckier than the right

an old wives tale that some may have heeded 

there`s no right or wrong side of the bed you see

only the fact that you have to start a new day

left siders mean you have job satisfaction

right siders earn more money along their way

beds against walls would prove more difficult

as there`s only one side that can be regularly used

and as for bunk beds, a ladder is definitely a must

three on a bed would make things more confused!

proverbs are just proverbs, there to make you think

little pithy comments full of wisdom and wit

just take care when getting out of bed in the morning

grumpiness isn't nice when  you`re confront with it!
