susan finished school at 16

wants to be a secretary

2 years later she's got

nowhere

ends up in a factory

making matches it's so boring

she gets sad and

so depressed

hears her doctor smugly tell her

take these pills

and get some

rest

but she takes it one step further

parents rescue her in time

smile and

tell her when you're married

everything will be just fine

she recovers andgets married further shuts the closing door

though he says I really love you

she feels worse off than before

9 months later she's a mother

it's a bouncing

baby boy

oh how super say her parents

but for her there is no joy

words like

mummy don't mean nothing

it's all she hears from 9 to 5

all alone at number

19

every single day she dies

19 years of hollow cliches

now she wants to endit all

bored to death from doing nothing

family drives her up the wall



swinging susan hanged herself

she couldn't live her pointless life

he comes

home to see through tears

the rigid corpse that was his wife

the life andtimes of susan strange

ended in that tragic way

wit the money from insurance



the family went on holiday

nothing left but rotting flowers

on an unattendedgrave

the epitaph has faded badly

no-one reads it anyway
