Mind Your Own Business—Life Lesson #265
Mind your own business. She said; the voice in my head.
Who the hell are you? I replied.
Mind your own business!
Okay! I heard what you said.
Her insistence I could not deny.
Who does that voice sound like?
I want to know who?
Shit—It sounds like my mother.
Hey, Mom, is that you?
Mind your own business.
She warned, don’t look over there;
it’s not your concern;
Why do you care?
I see some disaster;
I’m compelled to assist;
like a poor choice of lipstick;
I can hardly resist.
Mind your own business.
She said, leave your thoughts to yourself;
that’s the best piece of advice;
better than any book on a shelf.
Mind your own business.
She said, and take this advice;
keep your nose outa trouble;
don’t make me ask twice.
Goddamnit you’re bossy;
Get lost! Too-da-loo!
just who do you think you are?
Darling. I’m you.
Mind your own business this weekend you guys!
