I'd got out the hammer, the hatchet and pliers
To attack the package of plastic and wires.
     But the fix was so tricky,
     The stickum so sticky,
I'd not even scratched it when I set it on fire!...

I was hoping to give you a Cheddar life
But it was never Gouda 'nough 
Mozzarella I could never cheese you

Tuff
I am feeling stressed,
trying not to get depressed,
and striving to do my best,

never good enough,
this life sometimes, is so tough,
as I walk away and huff....
