Notes About The Poem

Why Oh Why Oh Me.

 

Oh why oh why do have so much bad luck

My hands are tied

My feet are stuck

I’d be much better off being Mr Bean

Or Donald duck

Than me

 

I try so damn hard to move forward

But I always get knocked back

And if the road ahead was paved with gold

I’d fall between a crack

 

Nothing goes right

Everything goes wrong

I’d come last in my own lookalike completion

And I’m as popular with women

As King Kong

Why me what did I do wrong?

 

I feel like a caged songbird

Who never had a song

I wanted to be an Eagle

But I'm more like a Beagle

With a very wet nose

 

I’m fed up and frustrated

Condemned and so underrated

Unwanted just not good enough

A hasbeen an emotional punch bag

A failed comedienne

Without a gag

 

A sinking ship

A Rat caught in a trap

Ten steps forward a hundred back

An unwanted puppy

Drowning in a sack

 

A penniless beggar

With an empty cup

Only dark clouds and rain

When I look up

A prisoner on death row waiting to die

With no lookalike

 

Why oh why me

Cursed at birth

To live a life of misery.

Why Oh Why Me

Why Oh Why Oh Me.

Oh why oh why do have so much bad luck
 My hands are tied
My feet are stuck
I’d be much better off being Mr Bean 
Or Donald duck
Than me

I try so damn hard to move forward
But I always get knocked back
And if the road ahead was paved with gold
I’d fall between a crack

Nothing goes right
Everything goes wrong
I’d come last in my own lookalike completion
And I’m as popular with women
As King Kong
Why me what did I do wrong?

I feel like a caged songbird
Who never had a song
I wanted to be an Eagle
But I'm more like a Beagle
With a very wet nose

I’m fed up and frustrated
Condemned and so underrated
Unwanted just not good enough
A hasbeen  an emotional punch bag
A failed comedienne
Without a gag

A sinking ship
A Rat caught in a trap
Ten steps forward a hundred back
An unwanted puppy
Drowning in a sack 

A  penniless beggar
With an empty cup
Only dark clouds and rain
When I look up
A prisoner on death row waiting to die
With  no lookalike

Why oh why me
Cursed at birth
To live a life of misery.
