Melancholy pie ending

I read it in the Sunday Times
That you were convicted of crimes
I found myself quite mad at you
Like the cat that wouldn't eat the poo
But all, as it transpired, was well
Or seemed to be, but you never can tell
The sun was shining and everyone smiled
The Happiness Index forms were filed
And Permit B-7 obtained for EXCITEMENT!
Though his failure to enter his excess right meant
The permit was void and his license invalid
He wasn't even allowed to make fruit salad
Unless he got a court order
He sat down with a glass of water
And simply watched the world go by
While eating steak & kidney pie.
