What Happened to Us These Last Couple Years?


                            
Songs
by Alexander Petrov Tomov

1

"I don't want
to make an effort
anymore
in my life" –
the man he said;
and there he goes...
he became
paralyzed
from the neck
down... for life.


2

"Forever stay with me
forever with you I will be" –
the man was singing;
his tumor heard him singing
and thought the man
was singing actually to him...
and forever stayed
with man...
....for the rest
of
his
life.


3

"How much I want
to be happy in this life!
More than anything
I want to want!"
So the fate
made
a joke with him,
and jokes of fate
end up bad;
the man became
drooling idiot
who never knew
what misery is...
or anything at all.



About the author:
I'm 22 and I live in Sofia, Bulgaria.
