i promise this is not my night,
mother and i got into a fight,
my date was oh so rude,
and i broke the heel off of my shoe,
i caught a nasty cold,
and i ate pasta two weeks old,
my hair frizzled out,
MY EAR'S POPPED BECAUSE THEY BLEW THE HORN TO LOUD,
this morning i was burned by the sun,
and tonight the rain gave me a hug and made my mascara run,

i thought about really bad blind dates and figured out how to describe how some things could ruin that night.
