It's Not Just You
Don’t you hate it when your fish drowns?
In the darkness come these eerie sounds
When your world is turned upside down
When the mortician is a flipping clown
You wake and your eyes are sopping
You step in canine droppings
You are woken early from sleeping
All night the baby was weeping
Someone broke your heart
Your car won’t start
In the elevator someone farts
Your boss doesn’t have any smarts
You’re wearing two different socks
You trip over a toolbox
Your doors have no locks
The copy machine won’t Xerox
You have no fish to fry
Your life is a big lie
Your cat dies
You have dirt in your eyes
Threw your window someone threw a stone
You broke your cellphone
Your toenails are in grown
Don’t feel bad for you are not alone
You just lost your best friend
People borrow and not lend
Your next meal will come you know not when
The world feels as if it is going to end
Your spouse is found naked at a motel
You fall down the stairwell
Your angle starts to swell
You really feel like hell
When your shoes fits like a glove
All day people push and shove
Rest is all you can think of
Just remember god is love
So many feel as you do
Some go to work with the flu
Before you bid this world adieu
Remember it’s not just you
