Lifes Little Ironies

by Dreamcatcher

I sat to write a poem
I didn’t want it to rhyme
I know it’s childish, I know it’s a crime
I can’t help myself from crossing the line

The lunch is in the cooker
I didn’t switch it off in time
I pretend to like the soggy cabbage
How can I admit the mistake is mine?

I started to chase a dream
It seemed simpler before I started trying
I know I can achieve it
Just convince the judges of mine!

I saw a movie that made me want to dance
I was determined I was a natural at the art
I went and enrolled in a class
The lady said, you will have to learn right from the start!

I was convinced I was in love
Until I had a chance to talk to him
They all seem dreamy, they all seem nice
The dream is perfect, till you meet their future wife!

I know I have to study
But the movie channels don’t seem to be friends of mine
How else do you explain,
All the classics on TV, all at one time?

I want to loose some weight
But the chocolates don’t seem to stop coming
I would have controlled from eating them
But how can I say no to something that’s divine!

I saw the perfect dress
It was a size too small
Even though they say it exists
Clothes that make you look slim DON'T exist in malls!

I got a pimple on my face,
At first it was fun to pinch
Now I have so many
Nothing I can do will make a difference of even an inch!

Life is full of Ironies
They never seem to run out of style
I want to write a poem
I do not want it to rhyme!
