How I Get

I get cranky, I get dumb, I get times, I wish, My tongue was numb. Later on, I see my folly, I cringe and think, I should have held Back that volley... I'm only human, I make mistakes, I wish I didn't, For heaven's sakes... But it is what it is, I am what I am And though I'd guess, Most don't give a damn... I wake, I walk I sleep, I talk, I wonder what The next hour will bring, And all I can do... Is for my hope for me to cling So, when I do something ill-thought-out, I can assure you, with no doubt... I never mean to hurt anyone... I'm not quite that much a lout. It's but the brain dead walking, The stupid man talking... I can but try to refrain, From my path insane.
