oh woe is me!!!
have pity, cruel
and heartless world.
the sky now fallen.
my sadness, unfurled.
i sail,
upon a ship of abject
misery.
i sit at the helm
and weep
and cry
and moan
and mewl,
til, my eyes have
run out of
wet, n' salted fuel.
now, those who know me,
are wondering why,
me, who writes happiness.
is having a hysterical cry.
if i can but,
bring myself,
to tell you why,
you must be generous,
of heart, and not say fie.
my big, catastrophe,
bigger than you know.
is a death, in the family...
they have lingered long
and been, a dear friend.
but this morning i went
to see them and they
where gone!!
and oh dear me!
what an embarassing end...
it is,
sad,
beyond,
sad.
i cannot tell a lie.
here its is....
in all it's badness
*my jeans done died
i had this pair of favourite, faded blue,white jeans.
had them long enough, that
they had come back into fashion....had them longer than my husband, my present job.
they knew me,
so well and comfortable too
i went to wear them this morning, as a pick me up treat....
and lo and behold,
they fell apart, at my feet
the crotch,
had frayed away
and if i had worn them,
my smalls and privates, would be saying a cheeky, g'day....
so i am sad
and an old friend has departed.
but at least
it happened in private
and not at work,
when i farted....
i tonight,
will give them,
a burial, in the duster bin...
and then drink to them,
with tonic and gin.
fare the well,
my faithful denim friend
consider this to be...
your heartfelt eulogy.
