You Know You're in Trouble

You're in trouble when home from tour,
And your wife finds a bra in your drawer;
Saying bye to your wife calling her Sadie,
Later realizing that her name is Katie;
You're in trouble on your anniversary,
Giving her a card,"In Deepest Sympathy";
You're in trouble when you have a flat,
Not knowing where your spare is at;
You're in trouble a meal ate was satisfied,
The waiter says your charge was denied;
You're in trouble in making more than ever,
But paying what you owe to take forever;
You're in trouble when being in distress,
Letter requesting an audit from the IRS;
You're in trouble when you are thinking,
The suggestion box sounds like ticking;
You're in trouble in building a model kit,
None of the parts seem to be able to fit;
You're in trouble while talking at work,
The boss overhears you calling him a jerk.
