Smile

When you get a flat tire,
Your new house catches fire,
And your best friend runs off
 with your wife,
When your partner named Joe
Hits the road with your dough,
You're in debt for the
 rest of your life;
When the cat eats your bird
And your vision gets blurred,
Don't fly in a tantrum and curse;
You must smile, show your class
While the world kicks your ass,
Tomorrow is sure to be worse.
