Bad things happen in thirteens

Bad things happen in thirteens.

Ripped dress,
make-up's a mess,
and there's too much homework set,
Can't cope, no hope, you can't hang yourself cos there's no rope,
Broke nail,
test failed, and the rents are on your tail,
Being chased, no space, can't find your own place.

Lost purse, feel cursed, things can't get much worse,
Wrong bus,
in a rush,
and your hair looks like a bush,
Too bad, heavy bag, and the strap just has to snap,
And guess what, you forgot, that you meant to get off... this stop.
