Ironic Zink Poet Lyric

I'M Sorry For Being Nice To You

Five bucks here and five smokes there 
Countless soda cans in return for a nickel a piece
Practically free . . .

"Thank you"

Is hardly heard.

"Please"

On the other hand

Is practically your favorite word.

It's nearly every day I tell myself to cut you off completely. 

But
I
Just
Can't

Never, ever, be something that I am not!
Alls I have left to say is . . .

I'm sorry for being nice to you.

Becca Teagan May 20, 2017 at 5:40 AM hmmm. Well, I can relate, in a way, because I have a tendency to be an enabler. And it's hard to be something we're not. But a simple "thank you" is nice, and when we don't get it, it can be hurtful. Only once (that I can recall) have I had the experience of saying I was sorry for being nice to someone. Interesting poem, IZ, thanks for sharing your thoughts . Ironic Zink May 29, 2017 at 1:53 AM Thank you Becca.
