Unlucky I Ams

I am a 2 gig desktop computer in the 21st century, A phone model that’s just been phased out, How can I convince the youngsters that I also had my days? I am a Tata Nano right in the midst of a formula one race Dwarfed and outshined I am that athlete who finishes fourth in a photo finish Yes just outside the podium positions A toilet tissue, Doing the worst job there is out there I can’t win can i? I am that politician sitting in opposition for fifty years I may never attain pole position Feel for that frail and ageing prince, For his mother, The Queen keeps going strong He may never reach promisedland I am that sad student, Repeating a paper because of that elusive single mark You know I’m that hurdler The one who led a final only to stumble at the last obstacle I tried basketball But every shot I tookwas an air ball I am that mother who can’t identify the father of my child I am that teenage boy who’s just lost a fight to a little girl I’m that fellow who forgets an umbrella on a rainy day Think of that performer acting in an empty arena The comedian whose jokes are dry I’m a broken guitar I’m a cracked mirror I’m three legged chair I’m but a leaking roof Life is not at all fair Everything seems aloof I was small league star But I barely leave a mark in top flight I was a big fish in a small pond I’ve become small fish in a big sea Out of my depth but I will not stop trying Yes I missed many penalties in my life Hit the post when my team was down Had my fair share of own goals I cut myself when I shave But that doesn’t stop me I will hit the reset button Reboot the system if necessary I have a master plan A wonder drug and it will work Or will it?
