When the swimming pool water is cold
It's better to remember
Worst troubles at sea
It's colder in snow in December
I look out of my spotted window
And see that it is dismally raining
I could be out there, soaking, hiking
In a pak-a mac, so stop complaining
When you are suffering an itch
Its better to recall
The problems of the very rich
Who fear to lose it all
When your snack's too salty
Or maybe it's too sweet
Give it to the poor insects
The dear things don't care what they eat
You might have constipation
A dead insect's in the toilet bowl
Flushed, it's half gone
Half''s a bit better than whole
Could it have been a cricket?
At first I thought a gecko
Alive, No, dead. I didn't know
Whatever, friends, it had to go!
When you have lost a loving friend
Think of the good things flippantly said
Just think, would you be happier
If both of you were dead?
If you don't like this poem
I'll put things right somehow
Put you out of your misery
By ending it all (the verse) now.
What good have I done today
To make your day and mine worthwhile?
A waste of time, of yours and mine?
No. It's always worthwhile to smile.
