Unfortunately, apart from the funeral, it's true!.

Don't ask me to do any DIY, do your shopping

And put my foot in it. I asked two women I knew

''How's your husband?

One said, ''Just got home from his funeral'' 

The other, ''buried him last week''.

 

"If I'm the world's biggest failure Does that make me a success ?.'' - Peter Dome. I'm not exactly Midus with his special touch That everything turns to gold You can trust Everything I touch Just turns to rust or dust Always, putting my foot in the wrong place Saying the wrong things to others So embarrassed my cheeks glow like a mellesure beacon. As red as a baboon's bottom on my face Don't expect much I'm only a man And can only do what a man can I put a shelf up on the wall But it wasn't level Everything I put on it Slid to the floor Then it fell down I went to a funeral dressed as a clown Then realised, it wasn't a fancy dress party And didn't go down Too well. Tried to install a burglar alarm Pretty proud of my achievement I went outside to try it out And locked myself out And had to break in It took a bit of explaining It to the cops My failures never stop I'm short-sighted And went to the wrong restroom And the Ladies through me out And didn't half shout Always talking to pretty Girls On the checkout I pay for my goods And forget the goods Walk out of the store Get home and realise What I'd done Having to go back lowering my head And eyes

sometimes failures seem bizarre at times; mine are sometimes reminiscent of a circus side show. Seriously. There's a grain of wisdom and truth in your ironic words. Enjoy your evening, Sara
