A Bad Day

(Song: Midnight Hour Blues) # IN THE WEE MIDNIGHT HOURS # # LONG 'FORE THE BREAK OF DAY, # # WHEN THE BLUES CREEP UP ON YOU, # # AND CARRY YOUR MIND AWAY # HELLO YOUTUBERS. WELL, MURPHY'S LAW SAYS THAT ANYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG WILL GO WRONG AND THIS WEEK IT ALL WENT WRONG FOR ME. SO I HAD A VERY BAD DAY. IT ALL STARTED WHEN... I WAS GIVEN NOTIFICATION THAT MY ELECTRICITY SUPPLY WOULD BE CUT OFF FROM 10:30 AM TO 1:30 ON A PARTICULAR DAY. SO I GOT UP EARLY AROUND ABOUT 5:00 SO I COULD GET INTO YOUTUBE AND ANSWER MY LETTERS, AND ALL THE THINGS I HAVE AND LIKE TO DO THERE. BUT, OF COURSE, EVERYTHING WENT WRONG IN THAT MY PC WAS IN A GRUMPY MOOD, AND THAT WOULDN'T FIRE UP. EVENTUALLY IT DID BOOT UP I THOUGHT ALL WAS WELL BUT THEN I DIDN'T HAVE ANY INTERNET CONNECTION SO IT WAS ONE DAMN THING AFTER ANOTHER. SO I WENT ONTO MY MAC COMPUTER, AND THAT DID FIRE UP OKAY. BUT STILL NO INTERNET. SO IT WAS ALL QUITE A DISASTER, AND NOTHING MUCH I COULD DO ABOUT IT. SO I DECIDED THAT COME 10:30, I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY HEATING IN THE HOUSE, SO I WENT DOWN TO A LOCAL HOTEL WHERE THEY HAD THE LOVELY LOG FIRE AND I HAD LUNCH THERE WHICH WAS QUITE NICE REALLY, I SUPPOSE. BUT I WAS ANNOYED THAT I PAID £10 FOR WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE CHEESE ON TOAST. TWO SLICES OF BREAD WHICH I COULD HAVE COOKED FOR MYSELF FOR ABOUT 10p BUT THAT DIDN'T MATTER TOO MUCH, BUT WHEN I GOT HOME MY ALARM SYSTEM WAS BLARING FORTH! SO I RUSHED INTO THE HOUSE. I EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO SORT OF PUNCH IN THE CODE BUT THE CODE BOX WAS DISABLED. SO I COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT. I WAS GETTING TELEPHONE CALLS FROM NEIGHBORS WHO WERE COMPLAINING, NOT RUSHING TO MY ASSISTANCE AS I THOUGHT THEY MIGHT, BUT COMPLAINING. AND THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP IT, WAS TO SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY. SO HERE I AM AGAIN WITH NO ELECTRICITY AND NO HEATING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ALARM PEOPLE TO COME OUT AND REBOOT IT AND SET IT ALL UP AGAIN FOR ME. AND OF COURSE THERE WILL BE A BIG BILL IN THE POST FOR THAT. SO IT TURNED OUT TO BE ABOUT 5:00 AT NIGHT, BEFORE I HAD GOT ANY ELECTRICITY AGAIN. BUT I WAS ABLE TO FIRE UP THE PC, AND I GOT ON WITH MY WORK. BUT I HAVE A NICE NIECE WHO'S GOT A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, AND I OFTEN CHAT WITH HER WHEN I WANT CHEERING UP. AND SO I HAD A TELEPHONE CALL WITH HER. AND SHE SAYS THAT I AM HER FAVORITE UNCLE! WHICH IS VERY NICE OF HER. BUT I DON'T HAVE MUCH COMPETITION (laughs) BECAUSE IN FACT, I AM HER ONLY UNCLE. ANYWAY, SHE HEARD ALL MY STORY OF GLOOM AND DOOM, AND SHE SENT ME AN EMAIL WHICH IS A CHRISTMAS STORY FOR PEOPLE HAVING A BAD DAY. AND SINCE WE'RE NOW IN THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD, (laughs) I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO HEAR IT. SO HERE GOES. (Reading) "When four of Santa's elves "GOT SICK, THE (unclear) ELVES "DIDN'T PRODUCE TOYS AS FAST AS THE REGULAR ONES, "AND SANTA BEGAN TO FEEL THE PRE-CHRISTMAS PRESSURE. "THEN MRS. CLAUSE TOLD SANTA "HER MOTHER WAS COMING TO VISIT "WHICH STRESSED SANTA EVEN MORE. "WHEN HE WENT TO HARNESS THE REINDEER, "HE FOUND THAT THREE OF THEM WERE ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH, "AND TWO OTHERS HAD JUMPED THE FENCE, "AND WERE OUT, HEAVEN KNOWS WHERE. "THEN WHEN HE BEGAN TO LOAD THE SLEIGH, "ONE OF THE FOOTBOARDS CRACKED. "THE TOYS FELL TO THE GROUND, "AND ALL THE TOYS WERE SCATTERED. "FRUSTRATED, SANTA WENT INTO THE HOUSE "FOR A CUP OF APPLE CIDER "AND A SHOT OF RUM. "AND WHEN HE WENT TO THE CUPBOARD, "HE DISCOVERED THAT ELVES HAD DRANK ALL THE CIDER, "AND HIDDEN THE LIQUOR. "IN HIS FRUSTRATION, "HE ACTUALLY DROPPED THE CIDER JUG, "AND IT BROKE INTO HUNDREDS OF LITTLE GLASS PIECES "ALL OVER THE KITCHEN FLOOR. "HE WENT TO GET THE BROOM, AND FOUND THAT THE MICE "HAD EATEN ALL THE STRAW OFF THE END OF THE BROOM. "JUST THEN, THE DOORBELL RANG. "AN IRRITATED SANTA MARCHED TO THE DOOR, "YANKED IT OPEN, AND THERE STOOD A LITTLE ANGEL, "WITH A GREAT BIG CHRISTMAS TREE. "THE ANGEL SAID VERY CAREFULLY, "MERRY CHRISTMAS, SANTA! ISN'T THIS A LOVELY DAY? "I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL TREE FOR YOU! "WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO STICK IT?" (laughs) AND SO BEGAN THE TRADITION OF THE LITTLE ANGEL ON TOP OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE. (laughs) THAT'S ALL. GOOD-BYE. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
