THANKS FOR IMPROVING A BAD DAY



I just had my third prostate Cancer surgery
I was down and hurting going to the bank
I was depressed head hanging and hurting
My younger sister died that year as well as Mom
My father was always a no show
My niece was killed in an accident a year prior
The engine motor of my car blew up
I only had one car left to get to the bank
My company closed down with one month notice
Car with five kids drove up and rolled down the window,
"Old man give me your wallet and we'll let you walk away!"
I pulled the driver out the front window
The driver lost some teeth and a passenger
was holding his ribs in pain the others stayed in
as the car went speeding away in a cloud of smoke
I yelled, "Thanks guys for improving a really bad day."
