She didn’t mean to get MS

SHE DIDN’T MEAN IT

She didn’t mean to spill that drink
She didn’t mean to choke on it
It doesn’t matter what you think
Compared to yours her life’s just sh**
She didn’t mean to wet the bed
The signals just don’t reach her head
She didn’t mean to get annoyed with you
With her MS you’d be annoyed too
If you ever think YOUR life’s a mess
REMEMBER
SHE DIDN’T MEAN TO GET MS.
