i arranged the flowers nicely
hoping you would notice the effort
but, of course, it was useless
because you wanted daisies not roses

i made the bed neatly
hoping you would notice i'm tidy
but, of course, it was useless
you never even said "join me"

i put make-up on today
hoping you would call me pretty
but, of course, it was useless
"you're clown make-up is silly"
