I threw out my back last week, unfortunately, and wasn’t able to make it to my SAT exam. They arranged for me to re-take the test this morning but had to bring in an alternate supervisor who was from Egypt. He took care of giving me the exam and also managed to adjust my back admirably.
You see, he was a Cairo proctor.
“I’ll flatten that shopping center to the ground if it’s the last thing I do,” said Tom malevolently.
“If only I could
Play cards til I vomited,”
Said Tom wistfully.

This is a verse from a song called “Poor Me!”. It is sung to the tune of “I’m a little teapot, short and stout, tip me over and pour me out”.
I’m more of a lager kind of guy,
But I’ll have the occasional stout.
Hand it over without spilling and . . .
Poor me!
