It Could Be Worse

when life gives you lemons, make lemonade
it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you’re getting paid
sometimes when you’re down, you could really use a dog
without one, your life is like walking in a fog
life’s composed of things that are bland
but things are better if your toes are in the sand
so when you’re feeling low
remember that your life could be as bad as Othello’s
