Woe is Me!

Who is this one with wayfaring thoughts

who never sees the good

tis all of gloom and deep despair

a positive never would

There's agony ahead says he

predicting work ahead

depressive dark clouds haunting him

for what he might have said

The negative Nancy's have n'er on him

nor Debbie downers too

for he predicts they're positive

he always will outdo

If sun then rain, if rain then sun

no weather good in time

tis always just the opposite

that he had in his mind

If he be early must be late

if late he's early too

he never seems to have the time

lest he think well of you

The bad be good the good be bad

there is no in between

for he sees nothing but the worse

the worse you've ever seen

And by and by he lives his life

to bring all others down

and wonders why they don't like him

don't want him ever 'round

So sulk his way all through his days

while seeing all is bad

and never seeing others ways

that optimists have had
