Life's Too Short
Life’s too short to worry about the day
Before you get out of bed.
Life’s too short to start the day with
A burnt cup of coffee.
Life’s too short not to sing a long in the car.
Life’s too short to put up with assholes at work.
Life’s too short to take crap from your
Know nothing boss.
Life’s too short not to scream at the top of your lungs
In a crowded elevator.
Life’s too short to stand in line during lunch
And have your order fucked up.
Life’s too short to listen to bad jokes
Told by a co-worker with bad breath.
Life’s too short to punch a fucking clock every day.
Life’s too short not to give the finger to
The asshole who cut you off in traffic.
Life’s too short to sit behind a jackass who
Hasn’t seen the light has changed to green.
Life’s too short to sit in fucking traffic.
Life’s too short to come home
And find dog shit on your carpet.
Life’s too short to find out your spouse
Left the dog shit for you to clean up.
Life’s too short for this to be the start of your evening.
Life’s too short to be given a list of chores
As soon as you get home.
Life’s too short for the headache the bickering
Your children gives you.
Life’s too short to not get five minutes to decompress.
Life’s too short to have to choke down the
Burnt offerings your spouse called dinner.
Life’s too short to have to do the dishes
Because your children are fighting over who’s turn it is.
Life’s too short to put up with this and everything on the news.
Life’s too short to have to watch American Idol because
Your daughter thinks singer #9 is cute.
Life’s too short to have to watch Star Trek reruns
Because your son is a geek.
Life’s too short to tolerate your spouse’s questions during your show.
Life’s too short to start tomorrow’s workload tonight.
Life’s too short to listen to your spouse complain about bills
When they just spent $100 on something frivolous.
Life’s too short to beat your head against the wall 16 hours a day
And still be shitting in one hand and wishing in the other.
Life’s too short to end the day feeling defeated.
Life’s too short to go to bed after doing all you could for your family
And being told by your spouse they have a headache.
Life’s too short to lay in bed awake while your family sleeps
And wonder how you’re going to make ends meet.
Life’s just too fucking short to put up with this shit.
However,
It’s just fucking long enough to have to do this day after day.
It’s just fucking long enough to make the mornings painful
And the evenings dreadful.
It’s just fucking long enough for a person to find a way
To survive and make it work.
It’s just fucking long enough for each one of us to be successful.
So go out and fucking do it, guys!

life's too short to read one
life's too short to read one of my long poems. lol.
nice job. good to see ya here.
Heh
you sound like me trying to get my boyfriend to stop stressing about work work work. LOL.
In the first stanza i think the words a long should be along. I really thought this was fun. Thanks for posting.
well...
To me, you over-used the "Life's too short" line.
You could probably use it once..maybe twice, and still get the same powerful effect at the end.
Otherwise, I like it and of course, can relate.
