Billy No Mates, Me

BILLY NO MATES, ME Billy no mates; me, I cannot tell you the relief As so called mates are just not worth the grief Running me, around in circles, ruining my day Each job I try to do, they're getting in my way Once crunch time comes; they are way ahead With all my hard work, as with my daily bread Things left on the wayside, never getting done I like to stop and talk, but this is no longer fun With smirks abound; I then as get up a height That's when you realize these friends are s..te Borrowing a cup of milk then you want the cow And, it's just about anything you think I'll allow Time comes, being Billy no mates is just smart Sorry, not today mate, I have just got no heart That look of hurtfulness; priceless, I would say I am fed up, with your underhandedness today Then, when my cupboards are all stripped bare You are off up the road; without a frigging care When your pockets are empty; it is back to me But, I don't want you back, can't you ruddy see As to breadcrumbers; just chuck" em in the bin Just when has a Billy no mates, ever been a sin Indiana Shaw . . .

Luckily it's just a rant, Milton, but honestly the look on their faces when told, pure ignorance, of course I'm the bad guy for telling them so, he, he, he . . . ; )

At least you've got no one making decisions for you and you're beholden to no one. Tom

Just moved last October, Tom, and besieged with flamin' players, wheat and chaff and all that, he, he, he . . . ; )
