CARELESS LISTENER REGRETS
by Edith Scharff
-------------------

When God gave out brains,
I thought He said trains,
and I missed mine.

When God gave out looks,
I thought He said books,
and I didn't want any.

When God gave out noses,
I thought He said roses,
and I asked for a red one.

When God gave out legs,
I thought He said kegs,
and I ordered two fat ones.

When God gave out ears,
I thought He said beers,
and I ordered two long ones.

When God gave out chins,
I thought He said gins,
and I ordered a double.

When God gave out heads,
I thought He said beds,
and I asked for a soft one.

Gee, am I a mess!
