It was chucking it down
by Elizabeth Challinor
It was chucking it down
The day I chucked in my job
My boss is such a snob!
I stopped by at the pub
To get out of the rain
Drank a pint too many
Chucked up at the bar
Got chucked off the bus
On my way home
Found a letter in the hallway
My girlfriend had chucked me
Couldn't cope with living together, apart
Called it a farce
I chucked the letter in the bin
And my soaking wet clothes in the wash
Mum came in
You alright, Chuck?
I guess I looked grim
Looking out of the window
In my underpants
I got caught in the rain
It's chucking it down!
I know
I've gotta pick up your dad in the car
Chuck me the keys, will you
Where are they?
They're there in that jar
By the magazines
I've told you before
One of these days
I'm gonna chuck 'em all out
Don't start mum
My head hurts
You been drinking more stout?
You be careful now
They'll chuck you out of your job again
Dad's ringing
I know!
You better go
Who do you think I am?
After I heard the front door slam
I turned up the heating
Picked up a magazine
Sat down on the sofa
Half an hour later
Dad came dripping through the door
Where's your mum?
Didn't she pick you up?
What does it look like?
Looks like she's chucked you too
His face went pink
Come on, let's have a drink
Dad snorted
And disappeared upstairs
That was the day
Mum went away
Never to return
I saw a video of her once on Instagram
Chuckling!
For Sriram 😂
