I Can't Cliché

I'm Failing at Life!

I try wearing the shoe, but I botch it.

The pot boils, though I carefully watch it.

The fish in the sea

Are too few for me

And I'm up early, but haven't caught shit!

I couldn't help myself. I hope the references aren't too subtle. Thanks for reading another one!
