You fail?… I gloat;
Listen to my anecdotes:
Not had a good trip?
… Oh, please get a grip.
Cat got your tongue?
… You are highly strung.
You fell in the drink?
… Well, I’m tickled pink.
Stung by a bee?
… cause for my glee.
You, a busted flush?
… Then you should get the push.
Dismissed to the ranks?
… I’m feeling no angst.
So, you missed the boat?
… then I will gloat.
They pulled out the plug?
… that makes me feel smug.
So, you’re in litigation?
… I feel the elation.
And you’ve mud on your face?
… You are a disgrace.
What – You are annoyed?
Me? – Pure Schadenfreude!
