Infamy , Infamy Life Has It Infamy

Infamy , infamy

Whu does life have it infamy

And how do i know this

May i refer you to merely today's
prime example

Earlier i ordered my regular
Chicken Jalfrezi made bespoke
mild , 3 crackers , rice and 
a naan bread

From Saffron my favorite Indian 
takeaway

Got home only to find what's
in the bag is this

Not 3 but 1 cracker and
zero naan bread 

Ok not a train crash as such
i can still make this work

Until i innocuously knocked
the table 

And spilt my coke all over it

So in effect what i had or shall
i say was left with was this

No drink , no naan bread 
1 cracker and curry and rice 
swimming in coke

And after that was forced
into eating 

The only thing i had left in my 
kitchen and cupboard

A bowl of cereal with very little
milk and half dry toast

A total disaster Christopher, I’m laughing at your misery, but only in the context of your poem, it was bound to happen sooner or later, I’d mill a chicken madras now, after reading this, cheers David

Good question on a good day laugh, and then order another one, but on a bad one, curse my luck, and smash the lot against the kitchen wall
