My Sad, Sad Song

This poem is tottaly true. Everything it relates is (almost) exactly the way it happened. I wrote music for this poem as well, maybe I'll post me singing it... maybe not. Enjoy! :D

Left work one day
At six PM
My sister’s on her way…
To pick me up
And take me home
Yes, everything’s ok

But things went wrong
The lights left on
And I’m condemned to stay…
In Starbucks here
For half a year
Till rescue can be won

I call my dad
Ask if he’s close
And if he’ll take me home…
He tells me no
He’s just left work
For an hour he must roam

Oh things went wrong
The lights left on
And I’m condemned to stay…
In Starbucks here
For near a year
Till rescue can be won

So I call my mom
At home to see
If she will drive the van…
Who’s mufflers broke,
It’s just a joke,
And she just laughs with me

Oh things went wrong
The lights left on
And I’m condemned to stay…
In Starbucks here
For over a year
Till rescue can be won

So I call my sister
Who’s also stuck
To sympathize with her…
But she gets mad
And calls my dad
And blames it all on me

Oh things went wrong
The lights left on
And I’m condemned to stay…
In Starbucks here
For thirty years
Till rescue can be won

My sister was right
I couldn’t fight
She’d every right to blame…
Me for this mess
That we were in
Because I did the same

Oh things went wrong
The lights left on
And I’m condemned to stay…
In Starbucks here
For forty years
Till rescue can be won

You see I drove
Us both to work
And left the lights turned on…
Then sent my sister
On her way
‘thout telling her what was wrong

Oh things went wrong
The lights left on
And I’m condemned to stay…
In Starbucks here
The closing’s near
A rescue must be won

So here I sit
And here I’ll stay
I’ve nowhere else to go…
The Starbuck’s closed
I’ve been deposed
And all I’ve got to say…

Is things went wrong
The lights left on
And I’m condemned to stay…
Outside Starbucks here
Right on my ear
Till rescue has been won

Yes things went wrong
Car lights left on
That is my sad life’s song
