patti page – tenessee waltz

atta a girl patti!

oopsie daisy

oopsie daisy was born on a tuesday 

during an electrical storm  

in a city no one can ever remember the name of 

oopsie daisy suffered from a rare condition that could only be described as a harsh case of the oopsie’s  

 

she called jack at the corner bakery, joe…oopsie                     

she poured salt instead of sugar in her breakfast tea every morning…oopsie

 she accidentally mentioned madeline’s surprise party to…madeline…oopsie

she once sent a dirty birdy text message to a boy who made her feel girly…oopsie

 

‘woe is me’ said oopsie daisy to the night sky  

the night sky winked at her and told her to sing a song

‘well, what song shall i sing?’ asked oopsie daisy

‘you know what song child!’ responded the night sky

 

oopsie daisy cleared her throat and began to sing Patti Page’s Tenessee Waltz

because patti made oopsie daisy feel like a true lady

the night sky twinkled with glee and the moon began to dance

oopsie daisy laughed and her oopsie’s didn’t feel so bad anymore                                                                    

 

sometimes like oopsie daisy we make catastrophically mortifying decisions and think to ourselves…oopsie

crappy as we may feel, oopsies happen everyday to our neighbors, our tea, our madeline’s and to silly boys

but just remember to sing a song that makes you feel like the fabulous lady you are

and with just a little soap and bubbles you’ll be alright

good night my darlings.

 

yours truly.
