Standing in front of the mirror was Pessimistic Paul
An expression of disgust was what he saw
Today had been one filled with hate
To begin with he woke up late
His breakfast was burnt a nice shade of brown
There was nothing but traffic all through the town
When he got to work, his boss yelled at him
He accidentally called Alexi, the girl he likes, Kim
His brand new laptop broke down
And his favorite coffee mug could not be found
Pessimistic Paul frowned heavily and sighed
While his roommate, Optimistic Otto, smiled with his head high
Even though today...Otto found out that he has cancer
