Come all you groaners - get in line...

To take your turn at the Shrine of Whine.

And take comfort that you're not alone

In your urgent need to have a moan.

Never before in the human story

(now a sort of Jackanory!)

Have people known the opportunity

To whinge and cuss with such impunity,

With the righteous feeling of self-pity

That assumes this life is sad and shitty,

Complaining about their "half-empty pot"

Instead of welcoming what they've got.

So, all you groaners...get in line

To worship at the Shrine of Whine.
