I slipped and fell

on a banana peel

it really

hurt a lot



even though everyone

seemed melancholy

they pointed at me

and laughed



look here

it seems it's only at times like this

that everything in the world

goes well



even when I was

abandoned by my girlfriend

everyone laughed

whenever they saw me



look here

it's only at times like this

that everyone in the world

is wrapped in happiness



laugh

at me

laugh

'til your sides split



I slip on a banana peel

one more time

and everybody

looks back at me



surely

it's times like this

that everything in the world

goes well



laugh
