Good News comes like honey
That tastes so ever sweet
Bad News comes like sour milk
The flavor “can” be beat
Good News comes on a lucky bet
The product of your hunches
Bad News comes from someplace blue
It usually comes in bunches
Good News often makes your day
And ends it with a smile
Bad News tends to make amends
You’re miserable awhile
Good News may be good fortune
Some attribute faith
Bad News may indicate snake bit
Or the workings of a wraith
Good News comes so seldom
Except to the fortunate few
Bad News is like a lingering guest
Who stays to torment you
So if you’re plagued by Bad News
And seem hopelessly ill-fated
Just remember this of Good News
It’s frequently overrated
As Bad News descends upon us
Sometimes its difficult to see
We’re often just the victims
Of self-fulfilling prophecy
