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。
