Life is Hard

Life is hard sometimes, I feel,

It gets harder every day;

You plan to do so many things,

But, time gets in the way.

You make the plans ahead of time,

Then start your busy day;

But, soon things start to happen,

And nothing goes your way!

The telephone rings,

There’s a knock on your door,

Your coffee overflows;

The interruptions never stop;

Your mind begins to blow!

You stop for a cup of coffee,

To give yourself a break;

When, suddenly, something is burning,

Oh, oh, it’s the steak!

I don’t know how we deal with it,

Each and every day;

Some day I think I’ll get a maid,

To chase my blues away!
