has been

a series of blunders

one error after another

in a long line of mistakes

I envy people who

are smart & savvy

who breeze through life

as if it were a plaything

a toy that is all theirs

to play with and enjoy

my life is a sit-com

where I play

the bumbling blunderer

who gets laughs at

his own expense

and applause when

the door slams in his face

my life is laughed at

yet oddly enough

people still love me

who doesn't love pratfalls

and pies in the face.
