Flawed
I fail at folding fitted sheets,
Misspell words when the I's come before or after the c's,
Never completely, successfully raked a yard of leaves,
Don't enjoy the taste of beer, coffee, or tea,
Can't program the remote on my TV,
When I press the wrong buttons trying to watch BET,
Then I don't understand these young MC's,
Sagging skinny jeans make no sense to me,
I voted for Hillary, but got Trumped,
Love American democracy but feel like I got dumped,
Random nails punctured my side walls, so I'm at the air pump,
In the cold parked at a gas station,
The machine must be broken, quarters constantly need replacing,
I asked the attendant now standing outside smoking,
When I asked you for change earlier, why didn't you tell me it was broken?
He smiled and replied in a foreign language,
Fingers freezing replacing valve stem caps in anguish,
Heard a chuckle behind me and a bell ring,
The attendant was going back inside, that was mean...
