Yes, There Is A Slight Chance He Might Actually Fail - Darren Hanlon

I gave you a flower

He gave you a whole bunch

He cut you a diamond

I cut you your lunch

I read you a pamphlet

He wrote her a whole book

He paid them both to the movies

I stole you a look

I cannot win

Since the day we watched them move in Another sick joke

At my expense

But you can’t live your life

With one eye over the fence

So I wrote you this song

She got an operatic medley

He bought her a car

I doubled you on my treadly

I can’t compete

Since they moved to our street

I candidly took your photo

But it came out a blur

In their hall hangs a portrait

He had commissioned for her

And on Valentine’s Day

What was I to do

She got a ninety verse sonnet

I struggled with a haiku

Makes me see red

But I still couldn’t wish them both dead

I’m gonna fail

What if I fail

He’s gonna fail

He could possibly fail

He could possibly fail

He’s gonna fail
