Is that old clock telling the correct timeA
I can t believe that it s almost a mB
Last night I went to bed late and I oversleptC
-
I m not even sure what day it isD
The calendar on the wall is showing MondayE
But it sure feels like SaturdayE
-
I just got out of bed a few minutes agoF
Sleep usually wears me outG
Two noisy poodles on my veranda are driving me insaneH
Lord this backache is killing meE
-
I can t live peacefully in this tenement houseI
Inconsiderate people surround me day and nightJ
I m tired of the contention and disturbanceK
The boisterous tenants are always bickeringL
-
I work hard to put money in the boss pocketM
Taxes deprive me of half of my little earningsN
Fare and other expenses leave me pennilessO
-
The landlord is knocking on my door for the rentP
But I don t have a cent to pay himQ
My electricity is disconnected for non payment of billR
And there s no water in the pipeS
Thank God I don t owe the store any instalmentP
-
I can t afford to cook delicious mealsT
Such as fish chicken pork beef turkey etcU
Last night I ate dry bread and drank a cup of teaP
This morning I can t even suck saltP
I hate the kind of life that I m livingL
-
The cost of living is rising weeklyP
Jobless youths are all over the communityP
And they just loaf around all dayP
The hooligans smoke ganja on the street cornersV
I can t stomach the odour of that thingL
-
They call me Elda when I pass themB
Sometimes a youngster asks me for a billsW
But I have nothing to give anybodyP
Furthermore I don t support laziness and habitual beggingL
-
I m a talented writer with objectivesX
But I see no opportunity for advancementP
I may soon resort to crime in order to eat a foodP
Oh I m damn fed up with everythingL
I wish I could find a quiet home somewhere to liveY
