Tried to save the trees
Bought a platsic bag
The bottom fell out
It was a piece of crap
PIECE OF CRAP!

Saw it on the tube
Bought it on the phone
Now you're home alone
It's a piece of crap
PIECE OF CRAP!

I tried to plug in it
I tried to turn it on
When I got it home
It was a piece of crap
PIECE OF CRAP!!

Got it from a friend
On him you can depend
I found out in the end
It was a piece of crap
PIECE OF CRAP!

I'm trying to save the trees
I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down
To build a piece of crap
PIECE OF CRAP!

I went back to the store
They gave me four more
The guy told me at the door
It's a piece of crap
PIECE OF CRAP!

The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock

Two - a very very short poem about two unrequited lovers - please, if anyone can find it, please let me know!!! I recall, "Pity their plight and curse the night; she wept and could not tell him why..." The most tragic poem because it is about what could have been if courage is exercised. I read it in High School in "How Does a Poem Mean"
