If At First

If at first you don't succeed try try again When did this first happen and tell me when Was it the time when I tried to hang a door Doing some tiling perhaps on the kitchen floor Maybe the saying was when I tried to cook The meal was ruined just my rotten luck I kept trying to make the perfect poem rhyme Nothing kept happening time after time Whenever this saying first started I don't know So many stories as this poem will clearly show I will keep trying and eventually I'll find This stupid saying will slip from my mind
