It Gets Better

Rent is due, funds are scarce and

The landlord is a putz.

Johnny’s failing all his classes.

Suzie is a klutz.

 

Momma says she needs new shoes.

Dad needs a new shirt.

Both bemoan the plight that comes with

Being poor as dirt.

 

Grandma called. She thinks that Grandpa

Should be in a home.

Can’t remember diddly-squat,

His mind has turned to foam.

 

Bubba fell out of the truck;

Broke an arm and leg.

Won’t be working for a while.

At least he saved the keg.

 

Aunt Fannie’s getting married

For the twenty-second time.

A slight exaggeration…. But

It should be a crime.

 

Maybe I’ll sit down tonight and

Write the Lord a letter,

Offer up a midnight prayer and

Hope that it gets better.
