Holes In the Head

The taxman called: “You’re being audited”, he said I needed that like a hole in the head The doctor said twins; it was triplets instead I needed that like a hole in the head My wife said: “No more babies, get out of my bed!” I needed that like a hole in the head We’re all getting sick; the pipes are made of lead I needed that like a hole in the head. The vegetables in my garden, due to bugs are all dead I needed that like a hole in the head My doctor gave the “Bend over” instruction I dread I needed that like a hole in the head The monies in my account, to the creditors fled I needed that like a hole in the head Transmission fluid on the garage floor has all been bled I needed that like a hole in the head. So if you’ve got bad news, don’t hold it back May as well add some more to the pack My head is already full of holes galore How much can it hurt to add one more? In case you haven't guessed, my Catch Phrase is: "I needed that like a hole in the head".

Do you really have triplets? My husband is a triplet, born in the fifties. In a clinic in a small town. It is blessing he survived due to he weighed 3 pounds.
