maggie oke - Why I was off!

Couldn’t work Monday the ninth
But you need to hear out my plea
About how I was low on good karma
And had a slight touch of ennui
And how I woke up on the tenth
To find things had gotten much worse
As I got up to find myself victim
To quite a strong voodoo curse
Wednesday eleventh much better and I don’t mean to pass round the buck
But fell out of bed on the wrong side and felt quite low on my luck
On the safe side I stayed off till Thursday the twelfth when I mislaid my keys
And you wouldn’t believe if I told you they fell off my car in the breeze
And with all this misfortune around me I’m sure you’ll see what I mean
About staying off during Friday
Unlucky for me the thirteenth
Yes I’m late but I’m back now much better
And seeing what there is I can do
For the hour I have that is left
Till I have my appointment at two
