That By Life You've Been Hard Done By Poem by Francis Duggan

That by life you've been hard done by you like to make it known
Though others do tell you they've got worries of their own
To anyone willing to listen to you your sad stories you tell
How lady luck is not with you and you are not feeling well
And most out of politeness to you say that is sad
Of late it does seem times for you have been very bad
Whilst some of the less compassionate to you do say
Your life story not that sad I've heard a few far worse today
Though of your own worries you only seem aware
Most people do have their life crosses to bear
And though they may be burdened by sadness and care
Their sad stories with strangers they never do share
To anyone willing to listen you do like to tell
That living life for you is an Earthly Hell.
