Can I Borrow, Do You Have, Can You Spare
Can I Borrow,
Do You Have,
Can You Spare?

I’m tired of others looking at me as their bank,
When I’m just a small fish in one big ole fish tank;
They never take advice, just stuff, mostly money,
Casting gloom on my day, and making theirs sunny;
They always say borrow but it’s never returned,
And each time it happens, once more, I feel burned.
If you borrow some tool, please don’t make me ask,
Just bring the sucker home, if you’ve finished your task.
Most abusers are close and I feel given little choice,
Today, I’m battling myself, and that small inner voice.
I know those guilty will never read this, but then,
I’ve vented frustrations and feel better again.
