It Hurts
It hurts when I go for a walk
and get attacked by the same old dog,
it hurts when I run over things
I can't see because of the fog,
it hurts when I'm in the shower
and come out with 1st degree burns,
it hurts when I'm stuck in traffic
and have to go pee real bad,
it hurts when my family flees
when I try to sing like Adele,
it hurts when I get stung by a bee
and my rear end starts to swell,
it hurts when I trip over the cat
and fall down the front porch steps,
it hurts when that same mama bird
starts pecking at me because of her nest,
it hurts when I'm leaving a store
and their alarm suddenly goes off,
and everyone stops and stares
at you including your own boss,
it hurts when I come out of a carwash
and have a bird turd splatter on my car,
it hurts when I run out of gas
and have to walk real far,
it hurts when my deodorant
fails me in the 7th hour,
it hurts when I come out of a salon
and don't look like a supermodel,
it hurts when I make a meal
and they claim its Fear Factor food,
it hurts when I can't make someone laugh
when their in a real bad mood.
I hope everyone has a very Happy and Safe 4th of July!:)
