英语节奏训练12

12. A Bad Day
I overslept and missed my train,
Slipped on the sidewalk
In the pouring rain,
Sprained¹ my ankle,
Skinned my knees,
Broke my glasses,
Lost my keys,
Got stuck in the elevator,
It wouldn’t go, 
Kicked it twice and stubbed my toe.
Bought a pen that didn’t write,
Took it back and had a fight.
Went home angry,
Locked the door.
Crawled² into bed,
Couldn’t take any more.
