95 Cheese and Wine
1
I realized some time ago,
That you can often assess the state you’re in,
By noting what your troubles are,
Compared to what they could have been.
2
There’s always a person worse off than you,
Even when you’re not so inclined,
To miss another trip to Aspen.
Would you like cheese with that whine?
3
If your Cadillac car is broken,
Or your pool has sprung a leak,
Or you missed your PR at Boston,
In the Marathon you ran last week.
4
Or if your malicious neighbor,
Ran his mower over the property line,
And killed some of your daisies,
Would you like cheese with that whine?
5
Or that Welfare mother at Wal-Mart,
That holds you up in line,
Some things she tried to buy were not authorized,
By her food stamp card this time.
6
Then out in the parking lot,
With the sun’s blazing heat,
You’re worried the UV radiation,
Will harm your leather seats.
7
And finally you make it home,
An luckily just in time,
As your lawn sprinkler system didn’t come on,
Would you like more cheese with that whine?
