Fortunately, Unfortunately

 

 

 

Fortunately/Unfortunately

Fortunately my mom bought me a snake,

Unfortunately he ate a cat,

Fortunately the cat wasn’t mine,

Unfortunately it was my sister’s,

Fortunately my snake wasn’t hungry,

Unfortunately he wasn’t hungry because he ate my dads car,

Fortunately my dad has another car,

Unfortunately it ate that one too,

Fortunately it didn’t eat my bike,

Unfortunately we  had to get the Humane Society and it was 15 miles away,

Fortunately I can bike fast,

Unfortunately I underestimated 15 miles and it took me 4 hours,

Fortunately the Humane Society was still open,

Unfortunately their van broke down,

Fortunately I still had space on my bike,

Unfortunately the ride back was uphill,

Fortunately there was only 5 other people on my bike,

Unfortunately by the time we got there the snake ate my family,

Fortunately I got to keep my snake,

Unfortunately my snake ate me!

Fortunately I was grounded
Unfortunately for life
Fortunately I couldn’t go anywhere
Unfortunately I tried to sneak out
Fortunately I fell down the steps
Unfortunately I was at the hospital
Fortunately I looked a mess
Unfortunately I didn’t have any hygiene products
Fortunately I stink
Unfortunately I’m out of the hospital
Fortunately I got to wear a cast
Unfortunately I had to go to school
Fortunately I couldn’t attend class activities
Unfortunately I got off punishment
Fortunately I got suspended
Unfortunately I’m back on punishment
Fortunately I missed out on New Year’s dance at school
Unfortunately I can’t dance
Fortunately my cast is off
Unfortunately it’s put back on
Fortunately cause my leg is still broken
