Woe Is Me Poem by Ted Middleton

O' woe is me - such misery
Its Christmas time and I've no tree
My daughter moved and I'm alone
We only speak now on the phone
I wormed my cat - it didnt work
He gutsed himself and had to perk
It sat upon the ground and steamed
Which made me ill - I could have screamed
My desktop fluro reading light
Blew its tube - and late at night
The TV set's remote just broke
The lounge room light's about to croak
The bathroom sink tap sprung a leak
My luck's so bad it makes me freak
One thing defies my lifelong curse
My poems cant get any worse!
