I’m so joyful today as it rains,
With no car, no umbrella, soaking wet!
I’m so happy as I reached work,
Late for breakfast, desk full of files!
I smiled as my boss complained,
He said that my work is vain!
I chuckled, as the board campaigned,
She should be sacked, her work is plain!
I laughed when my mom explained,
I’m a duff, so dumb no brains!
I giggled as my father complained,
You’re not married, You’re a burden, get a life!
It’s so funny that I’m filled with pain,
But a smile is all I potray,
I hide behind my smile,
Even my shadow leaves when I cry.
