Just wrote this while watching TV! I was having a think about all this business on the news I was talking about earlier, and thought about how all of us have to share this world, all the little intricacies we all have that make us different, yet so strangely similar at the same time. So this was the product of this thinkingness! Just a little fun bit, have a read :)

I have a condition,

Not a serious one, don’t get to worried, not contagious either

Apparently it’s quite common, they assured me.

What’s wrong?

Oh nothing really, just feel a bit weird some weeks,

Yeah, like a cold, but maybe a bug, maybe it’s nothing.

I hear one’s going round these days.

True, a lot of people get it,

But this is different.

Well all the usual ones.

I’m just a bit worried about where things are going these days.

But I do love to dance when I’m all alone sometimes

And I’m a sucker for old films

Kind of scared of dying every now and again

But I’m only young

I am a serial moment-ruiner by the way

Don’t like those new speed bumps

And I can’t kiss with chewing gum in.

Did I mention I was addicted to networking sites?

Myspace is dead I hear.

I’m a little bit narcoleptic too,

Then some weeks I can’t sleep at all.

Normalcy seems to escape me regularly,

I’m pretty much a layabout, couch potato type,

But I can’t find the time to sit down these days,

Too much on you see.

My arms ache from all the hugging I’ve been doing.

I’ve had a birthday, an anniversary, and a funeral this week,

Wedding in the next.

And I ride a bike, fancy that, with my eyesight and all.

The environment’s important of course, definitely.

But I can’t find the energy to recycle, all that plastic

Seems a bit of waste.

Always wanted to go deep sea fishing, or be a bee-keeper,

Think I might study law next year, finally get back to school.

And music too, I’ve always played the piano.

Confusing having this weather in May though.

Like all the politics we all hear about,

I could be a politician,

I was a postman for a while

But got a little worried about the paper-cuts

And the dogs too.

Always been more of a cat person

Less hair.

Never been to a zoo, either,

Never had the time.

Did I say I had a condition?
