Just Relax My Friend

Do I need a book to tell me to relax? I can’t believe you told me that Why would I need a book to show me How to relax or how to be me You’d think I’d be the expert on all things me For I’ve known me throughout my whole history I know everything there is to know I even know how I know So don’t tell me now I need to relax I can’t even believe you came up with that! Now why are you looking at me so? Maybe my voice is a little loud, you know And maybe I get uptight when things are newer Like who needs a program for a coffee brewer I’m used to all the old stuff You know me I make a fuss When something or someone changes the plans Why can’t the original things just stand I still see that quizzical look on your face Why do I feel so out of place Well maybe just let me take a quick look Since you already went and bought the dumb book A funny little poem for a friend - 02/01/21 4PM

I have a friend who when they read this would say the same. I would love to tell them to “just relax”, lol. Have a great day too, C.A.

It IS funny. In fact, it is hilarious, methinks. So witty and sarcastic, without being overtly snide. Love it, C.A! Kudos, Gershon
