Said Joe to Moe:

"Ah, the vicissitudes of life,
The constant struggle,
The never ending strife,
My failing business,
My nagging, childless wife,
My health is not so hot,
My bank account is overdrawn
And my credit is in a rot."

"Could be worse", said Moe,
"How much worse could it be?"
Answered disgusted Joe,
Came his reply from Moe,
"It could have happened to me."
