My life has been off
From the start of it all
Not quite in line
Just a bit too tall
And when an attempt was made
To straighten it out
It cracked right down the middle
A smile, turned to pout
The puzzle doesn't fit
And it never would
God knows that I tried
All the I could
But now all the cracks
All the lines and the cuts
Have made me a little too off
To make it out of the ruts
