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
