The Spin

To make sure that I don't 
Wrap myself tight
When I spin to the left
I spin back to the right

However many times
I turn around
I make sure as I do
That I do not lose count

I can't have myself
Twisted in knots
It's hard enough these days
To keep straight what I've got

So as I spin to the right
I spin back to the left
Confident as long as I
Keep count in my head

I'd be like a spring
Wound ever tight
If I didn't spin to the left
The same amount to the right
