Day Worry

I had the sax,
And the trumpet,
I had a guitar,
And the drum set.

I had the symbols,
And the bass,
I had the costumes,
Made from lace.

I had the music,
All in time,
I had the audience,
All in line.

I told my band,
"Be ready at five,
Drink lots of water,
And for pete's sake, look alive!"

It was almost six when,
Something was not right,
The audience wanted in,
And they started to fight!

It dawned on me then,
My band wasn't late,
I messed everything up,
I had the wrong date!!

(For my Dad)
