I was to be having tea
But I was home with the flu
A little blue
I scowled at the banana
You call it ripe, I call it dead
Good for bread
Grapefruit ready
Tea to steep
I start to weep
But then I think
Do not dismay
Look at this day!
The sun is out
My head breathes free
And I have my tea
Your poem does portray just what we sometimes feel when not feeling well. I would have loved sitting there, having tea, grapefruit, and banana bread. Oh yummmm!
