Cheerful pre-Xmas poem

EVERYTHING I DO IS BAD FOR ME

Every love affair breaks my heart
Every meal gives me heartburn
All my dreams involve me falling
Every journey has potholes
Two drinks means a hangover
Three drinks means I'm anyone's,
...and regrets
Every job is a headache
All exercise leaves me injured
Sport means cramp
Thought means confusion

except on the days when...

Love is like a golden beacon
Food brings me warmth and joy
Dreams are true flights of fantasy
Travelling brings discovery
Drinking with friends is therapy
Work gives me purpose
Exercise gives me energy
Sport means escape
Thought means inspiration

...and those days give me hope
