Shoulda Seen It

Got fired for loafing on the job.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Crossing a street, a car hit me.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
A foul ball hit me on the head.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
My girl fled with a gigolo.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Got arrested as a tax cheat dolt.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Went broke buying high, selling low.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Got bit playing with a Great White.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Sold hens to pay bills, eggs got high.
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
Voted for change but have none left.
         I shoulda seen it comin’. 
Don’t know how to end this poem!
         I shoulda seen it comin’.
