As Crazy as Crazy Can Be
A normal Monday morning,
As boring as any old Monday,
I got on the floor,
Then walked to the door,
Not expecting a fun-day.
I was holding the door-knob,
When I suddenly saw
The knob was shaped like
A golden shiny bike,
Just like the one I always wanted, which was big and tall.
I shook my head, “I must be daydreaming!”
I’ve experienced many a similar case!
But when I looked on the shelf,
I cried,” It’s an elf!”
It was sitting on my books and was smashing a vase!
I yelled, “Shoo! Shoo!
I just cannot stand
An elf in my room!”
This day was filling with gloom
And the situation’s getting out of hand!
I quickly ran out of my room,
Down to the kitchen I went.
Inside I did peer,
And I trembled with fear.
In the kitchen, all the bent things were straight and all the straight things bent!
This day was starting to get wackier every second,
And I was pretty sure something’s not right.
“I’ll fix all the things,
No matter what trouble it brings,
Even if I have to put up a fight!”
So I got right to work,
I acted before I talked.
At the school I arrived,
With my mighty stride,
I found that the gate of the school was locked!
I went away slowly,
And when I reached the traffic signal, I was shocked.
All the roads were closed for a day,
Each and every way.
Every road in the city was blocked!
I roared in frustration,
It was the craziest day there was!
So quick as a flash,
In my mind a plan did dash.
I did what every wise guy does.
I pinched myself hard,
And, friend, you’d doubt it!
I didn’t feel a thing,
Not the slight sting of pain,
It was a dream and I knew not to worry about it.
Soon I was wide awake.
I thought: I can relax. It’s Sunday!
But I was wrong,
Sunday was gone,
“You’re late!” said Mom. “Did you forget that today is Monday?”
那是一个普通的星期一的早上,
和别的星期一没什么两样。
我下了床,来到地上,
接着朝卧室的门口走去,
心想,这个星期一一定还会十分无趣。
手抓着门把手,
猛地一瞅,
那门把手的形状
活像一辆金灿灿的自行车,
那是我心仪已久的自行车,又高又大的模样。
我摇了摇头:“我一定是在做梦!”
我又不是第一次经历这样的情形。
我看了一眼书架,
不禁喊道:“我看到一个小精灵!”
它正坐在我的书上,用力击打一个花瓶。
“去!去!”我再次喊道。
“卧室里有个小精灵,
我可真的受不了!”
这一天开始蒙上了阴影。
而且,情形也完全超出想象。
我快速离开卧室,
匆匆来到厨房。
我往里面一瞅,
浑身开始发抖。
原来直溜的东西变得弯弯的,弯弯的东西变得很直溜。
这一天开始变得越来越离奇,
一定是出了什么岔子,这个我一点也不怀疑。
“我要着手解决这一个个麻烦,
哪怕有重重困难!
哪怕是非要‘决一死战’!”
说干就干,
毫不迟疑。
我大步流星地
赶往学校。
不料,学校的大门也是紧闭!
我慢慢地离开校门,
来到红绿灯前,顿时又惊讶不已。
所有的道路当天都已封闭。
所有的道路,没有例外,
对,城里的道路全都封闭。
我非常失望,大吼一声,
这是最疯狂的一天,真真正正!
于是,一个念头
像闪电般在我脑海里闪过。
我要像贤人那样,对,马上就做!
我猛掐自己一下。
朋友,你可能有点不信,
我一点感觉没有,
疼痛的感觉?那你得去问别人。
这不过是一个梦,大可不必牢记心头。
很快,我真的完全醒来。
这下可以好好放松了,心想,今天是星期天。
可是我大错特错。
星期天昨天刚过。
“你迟到了。忘了今天是星期一?”妈妈这样对我说。
