Song of the Pessimist
Song of the Pessimist

Here’s to the cheerful chappy
the one who is always happy
through storm and drought and gloom
who laughs in the face of doom.

May fate prove him ever wrong
and disaster reward his song
may he stumble through life injurious
till this time he sees it is serious.
