Not Upright:

She received a message from her lover.
The moment she started to read it,
It fell down.

She picked it up and started to read it.
The moment she started to read it,
It fell down again.

This was repeated
Again and again.

She wrote a message to him
Complaining that
It keeps falling down.

The reply she got was sad that night
“My message was all right.
If you do not know how to put things right
Nothing can stand upright.”
