The Manageable Nightmares of Everyday Life
At the first sight of sunlight
Mr. and Mrs. S-‘s alarm radio
Sings along with the morning crow
As he watches the daisies go
In the direction the breeze pleases to take them but
Mr. S- is just getting into his aluminum sided hut
After a night of working late with his sweet secretary
He met his mistress in front of the library
Slides silently in bed
And pretends to be asleep
An hour later Mrs. S- does the same
Without making a peep
Irene S- hates her name and believes that’s why
She’s unpopular with everyone
Both the girls and the guys
Tries to tell her parents but their answers are clichéd
Takes it as fact that she’s fat
So she decides to lose some weight
Disgraced with her waist her self esteem gets thinner
Convinced she’s not anorexic
She just needs to get slimmer
Too weak to mumble her health’s taken a tumble too
She doesn’t care for that
She has to look good for school
