Debbie Downer - Changes subject to something tragic or emphasizes something tragic. 

DOWNER

She Knew
I.D.
is key

Her Thoughts
yet she
couldn’t be

She Felt
alone
sans moan

What She Did
had worst
outburst

Inner Squeeze
cramped knots
sad thoughts

Introspective
graphic
tragic

Phone Tag
linked arms
no charms

Community Share
brings down
whole town

Her World
upside
downside

Yep, stuff happens. And happens. And happens. Time for a glass of wine. A two wine evening. Old 50's love songs -- those with happy endings. And no Stravinsky!
