An inspirational poem.

This is a poem I wrote recently out of sheer boredom. Its not really directed at anyone in particular. Its mostly just a collection of things that I have said to people in the past. Its a motivational piece with subtle undertones of perseverance and triumph.

The Immortality of Hope

When you order "No Onions" at a drive through I hope they give you extra.
And I hope they are diced so that some get buried in the cheese and you can never pick them all off.
I hope the remote is always a little too far away.
I hope theres a glare on the screen during the day.
I hope you can never get that picture to hang straight.
I hope you get hit on by some guy whos not.
I hope a car backfires and you have to try to play off the fact that you thought you were shot.
I hope something screws up your good mood.
I hope you accidentally piss off a waitress and it makes you nervous about eating your food.
I hope a homeless man asks you if you have some money to spare, and you say "Yeah" but when you look in your wallet, all you have are twenties.
I hope the guy at the register is low on change and has to give you all pennies.
I hope your alarm clock malfunctions and you are late for your court appearance.
That reminds me, I hope you have to go to court.
I hope the guy in line in front of you smells funny.
I hope the drink machine wont accept any of your money.

Its a work in progress. Suggestions are welcome.
