The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Tried to be a winner all my life, but never made it, does anyone share a similar fate, be interesting to know.
Even my local football club are the same. Not as I am complaining, I can laugh at myself, hope you enjoy the following few poetic words I have scribed. I even tried song writing before this but that seems to be a no goer. Nice talking to you all, thats if you can hear me..

Tried to be a winner

I’m the clown at all the parties.
They laugh and slap my back.
When they give the presents out.
Mine is broke or cracked
The butt of all the jokes.
They never see the tears.
Tell them how, I feel inside.
But no one really hears.

Tried to be a winner.
Never won a race.
Always find a place to trip.
Fall flat upon my face
I’m the one you never notice.
Knocking on the door,
Always drinking far too much.
Then end, upon the floor.

The loneliness, that stays with me.
From which, I cannot hide.
So unaware are people.
Of the pain, I feel inside.
Happiness, there’s none it seems.
For the one, who tries to win .
Left with just, my empty dreams.
On the outside, looking in.

Now I loved a certain lady.
And I thought, nobody knew.
Someone, told her husband.
Who had a lover too.
It caused, a lot of heart ache.
It caused, a lot off strife
Especially, when I found out.
His lover, was my wife
.

Now I met this other lady
She said her name was Sue.
She was a deep sea diver
Said I could learn it too.
I went around next morning.
Caught her still in bed.
Her wig was on the bedpost.
No hair upon her head.

I have come now for my lesson
I’ve been waiting here she said
Help me find my glass eye
And climb onto the bed
Her teeth lay on the table
A wooden leg upon the floor
She said come over here my love
So I dived out through the door


Tried to be a winner.
Never won a race.
Always find a place to trip.
Fall flat upon my face.
Invited out to dinner.
It’s me who pays the bill.
Hoping, that my luck will change.
But I know it never will.

If you had a little chuckle reading the above as a little reward have a listen to one of my songs now top of the flops

Yes, thought that was tragically funny. Cheers! Would listen to your music, but my speakers have broken, so can relate to your misfortunes quite easily! Thanks

very funny indeed and it did raise a smile and a chuckle

Great poem, sadly I followed the link and found only a message saying invalid link or deleted file. Is there somewhere else your music can be heard?
