Same Old, Same Old

It takes something abnormal to make normal so appealing.
We see the joy of a hot summer day when the snow piles up,
Go along complaining about mundane until all hell breaks loose.
I want a normal day and whatever it brings, no bombshells
Same old, same old day after day is what I long for this morning.

Judy, I understand 100%. Normal days are good. They are to be treasured. I hope there will be no bombshells today for you. Hugs.

May your day be full of happy endings and lots of normal, Judy. There's a lot to be said for dull moments.

I love this poem and so understand the need for a quiet regular day. Thank you for capturing what many of us think and putting it into words.

Same Old is worth much more than it's given credit for. I love the way you juxtaposed the other choices.

Oh, I LIVE for the days when it is same old, same old - not nearly enough of them. I LOVE being able to tell someone, with great satisfaction, "Nothing new....thank God!" Hee hee. I so hear you, Judy!!!!

I'm with you on this and share the sentiment Judy. Bombshells are best avoided, I agree. penny

Well done Judy. We do complain about the ordinary until the bobshell hits, or at least tend to. This poem is a great reminder. I'll take ordinary days too.
