When I'm sad I eat sweets

which isn't going to help anything. Being sad is hard though

Robbie WIlliams will tell you all about that, and his dad

Peter, having to see his son go through so much fame

and addiction. It's a tricky bugger, sadness,

when it arrives like an uninvited guest, a suitcase

in their hand at your front door. 

Well I guess you're going to be staying a while,

I'll go and fetch you a towel and make your bed

and I don't realise I'm doing it, I guess it's because

I live near a shop, I just put my shoes on

and suddenly, wearing the kind of clothes

a costume designer would pick out for a sad character

the type that will never have their end of series resolution..

I am scanning the Haribo through the self service machine.

It's Fruit Jellies I really have a taste for, the sadder I get

the more Fruit Jellies I'll buy, except they don't sell them

in the shop nearest me, I have to walk quite far for those

which makes it worse, I guess, because I'll think

look at me, exercising, what a healthy lad,

on top of the world, despite the thing I'm sad about

I've managed to get out of the house

and I read a Twitter thread of some big dude

who is now a skinny dude, he lost eleven stone

and said it's all about the sugar, and sitting on my 

swivel chair I thought good idea, big lad, 

I'll stop eating sugar too, and I do

until I'm sad again. I feel okay today

and I've squeezed in an extra designated

teeth cleaning slot in the afternoon.

It's not exactly going to make anything better,

but at least it feels like something
