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’. 1/31/2023
