FIRST-WORLD PROBLEMS


Yes, the Taliban try every year to kill lot of Jews

and Boko Haram jihadists are said to be bad news,

we know Bashar makes offers that Aleppo can’t refuse…

but that's nothing in comparison to my Nordstrom abuse!

Don’t bore me with Somalia, Al-Shabab at the door;

Michoacan drug cartels leave such a grim folklore;

no one cares if Sudanese are targeting the Nuer,

just wait until you hear how Starbucks screwed up on my pour!

Oh, it’s a crime how difficult it is to get my way

from all these lazy underlings who do not earn their pay.

There’s nowhere worse to live than here in de-class San Jose:

the deprivations I could tell would turn your hair to grey!
