FUCKING PATHETIC
THIS is how it's done:

Failure

The man wakes, and for a moment there
Is a blissful moment without pain or care,
When he thinks he’s still a little boy,
Full of life and hope and love and joy.

Then with a crash, he recalls he’s a man
In his fifth decade with no partner or plan,
And debts and disease and a rented bed -
And he breaks, and he sobs, and he wishes himself dead.

So he rises at noon and has a big shit.
There’s a whole day ahead – what to do with it?
He curses the very day he was born -
And has a big wank to internet porn.

Lunchtime. The pub? Surely too early?
He has another wank over Liz Hurley.
Come two pm and he’s out of the door,
Intending to sink three pints, maybe four.

Evening falls and casts a special magic –
Our man is so pissed he can’t see how tragic
His life – sorry, existence – has become.
He drains his pint, buys another one.

9 o’the clock and his whistle is wet -
This is the closest to happiness he ever gets:
Pissed as a cunt on whisky and Stella,
For now he’s a jolly happy fella.

The other people in the pub pay him no heed -
He has nothing they either want or need;
A piece of human flotsam, adrift, astray,
With nothing to contribute, nothing to say.

But he doesn’t care! He doesn’t worry!
Cos now he is off for a takeaway curry -
Lamb Tikka Masala with Pilau Rice,
Keema Nan, Sag Aloo – extremely nice!

Back home with his meal and on with the telly –
Something to watch whilst he fills his belly:
Some shite TVSF from when he was a kid.
Thank God there’s some cold cans in the fridge.

He passes out halfway through Episode Two
Of an ancient episode of Doctor Who.
His drunken sleep is the only time he’s free
From his relentless tawdry misery.

The man wakes, and for a moment there
Is a blissful moment without pain or care.
Then he remembers. Then comes the pain,
And so on, over and over again.
