The Disaster

Now this is a story, completely true, I hope the same never happens to you, It about a girl I thought was cool, But I did something that made me look the fool I walked by the shop and saw the ad, And thought “a paper round wouldn’t be so bad!” I went in the shop and applied for the job, I wanted to stop being a worthless slob! I was soon working, it wasn’t great, Pouring rain, heavy bags – ALWAYS late, I got in the shop and was covered in mud, But the round had just gotten good! There was a girl packing her round, I grinned, walked over and muttered “sound” She was pretty, and had dark hair, But she wouldn’t like me...life’s so unfair, I invested in a pair of roller skates, To decrease my high number of lates, It worked quite well; I was always on time, But my skating skills weren’t exactly sublime, Then came that day, in pouring rain, I had finished my round once again, I was on Kings Lane, when I slipped and fell, I rolled over twice, and mumbled “oh, well!” I stood up and saw the girl, I was so embarrassed, I wanted to hurl! She asked me if I was OK, This had ruined what was otherwise quite a good day
