Probably Not Today

Some of my fears are warranted some might be coming true but I've coined a lovely catch-all phrase to keep me from feeling blue... “Probably not today” I say as my health is in decline I'll probably not fall dead today just gripe, and groan, and whine. “Probably not today” I claim as I look inside my cupboard I shouldn't starve to death today no, the thought is quite absurd! “Probably not today” I state as I think he loves me less but he's not fallen out of love in a day- no, it's needless, senseless stress... “Probably not today” I judge that my creditors won't be inclined to seize, and freeze, and take away all the things I consider mine. “Probably not today, my dear” I comfort myself by saying the roof will hold another day 'though the shingles are decaying. “Probably not today” I think no, it's not as I had predicted- although the rent's a few days behind I probably won't be evicted. “Probably not today” I chant as the storms about me howl I probably won't be blown away 'though the weather is quite foul. “Probably not today” I add as the list is growing so that I hardly can keep track of all my probable someday-woes. “Probably not today” I fear probably not, I guess... I'll probably not stop thinking these things 'though it causes a terrible mess!
