My Frencholosophy Song

The mud slide back in eighty six Took out half my farm And the war that lit up 69 Is where I Left one arm My wife and kids have left me To part's unknown, somewhere So I sit here all alone While losing all my hair chorus Now you can see, what my attitude should be But instead of mulling around I get picked up, when I'm down As I quote that little phase, that tickles me "C'est La vie" My truck was repo-ed yesterday My dog and cat ran off My old friends all moved away And often I feel lost chorus Now you'll agree, just how happy could I be When my world has gone to hell I just get up, where I fell And whisper those sweet words in ecstasy "C'est La Vie"

Thank you Dan, that's the tricky part of rhyming, most times the poem writes itself.
