It Hurts

It hurts when I go for a walk and get attacked by the same old dog, it hurts when I run over things I can't see because of the fog, it hurts when I'm in the shower and come out with 1st degree burns, it hurts when I'm stuck in traffic and have to go pee real bad, it hurts when my family flees when I try to sing like Adele, it hurts when I get stung by a bee and my rear end starts to swell, it hurts when I trip over the cat and fall down the front porch steps, it hurts when that same mama bird starts pecking at me because of her nest, it hurts when I'm leaving a store and their alarm suddenly goes off, and everyone stops and stares at you including your own boss, it hurts when I come out of a carwash and have a bird turd splatter on my car, it hurts when I run out of gas and have to walk real far, it hurts when my deodorant fails me in the 7th hour, it hurts when I come out of a salon and don't look like a supermodel, it hurts when I make a meal and they claim its Fear Factor food, it hurts when I can't make someone laugh when their in a real bad mood. I hope everyone has a very Happy and Safe 4th of July!:)

Thanks for the good wishes, but my dear life is hard and sometime its hurts. Although, the title is painful, but content is delightful .....

Thanks so much Pashang; my intentions was for it to be humorous even though life can be painful; like a comedy of errors so to speak!:)
