DON'T ASKME

Quit acting so friendly.

Don't nod don't laugh all nicely.

Don't think you'll up-end me.

Don't sigh, don't sip your iced-tea.

And don't say, "It's been a while..."

And don't flash that stupid smile.

Don't ask me how I've been.

Don't think I've forgotten,

you never liked that necklace.

So cordial, so rotten...

Kiss, kiss, let's meet for breakfast.

Don't show up so on-time

and don't act like you're so kind

Don't ask me how I've been.

Don't sit there and play just

so frank, so straight, so candid,

so thoughtful, so gracious,

so sound, so even-handed.

Don't be so damn benign

and don't waste my ******* time.

Don't ask me how I've been.
