Munday on Monday: Just drop it

On days when your back needs to go without bending —

(Your knees are too tender to kneel; they need mending)

It’s times such as these — see how gravity plots!

Ensuring a sequence where everything drops:

A spoon from the table — the coffee you pour —

The trash from the bag, or your keys at the door —

Or something your carry (you may be distracted) —

They all to the floor on this day seem attracted.

A spill, then another — a mess and one more;

You’ve got to keep bending to clean up the floor.

Can someone explain on this day that’s a flop,

How all of these things will conspire to drop?
