PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

whenever you're in need

or just feeling down

remember that i'm probably on tour

in a different town

if you're in a bind

or feeling against a wall

please don't make me one of the first people that you call

and i mean this very sincere-ishly

don't count on me

cuz i'm the worst

if i'm there, it'll be a surprise to so many other friends that i'd call first

it's not that i don't care

it's that i don't care very much

cuz i'm either on the spectrum or just plain out of touch

that's who i am

that's what i do

i could change if i wanted to, but i don't

but if you really

need someone to count on

to bring you stress

to extinguish happiness

and anxiety and duress

you can always count on me

cuz i'm chalant

i'm inspiteful

i am peccable

and compliable

i'm a cockroach in a salad

i'm invalid, not invalid

i'm an empty diary

as useful as a college degree

i put the emo in chemotherapy

if you ever really need someone to be there

don't count on me

i'm just a clown

i'm gonna wind you up

i'm gonna cheer you down

i made the choice

to accept what people think of me

i'll be your whipping boy

or your friendly effigy

i'll even go down for the count

don't count on me

i've no hand to lend

i was born in the beginning

so i won't be there in the end

so feel free to call me friendly

just please, don't call me friend

so don't call on me

cuz i couldn't be prouder

the coke i shared with you

was just crank and baby powder

just like cokie the clown

i'm gonna wind you up

i'm gonna cheer you down

cuz this is what i consider fun

making you think the song was already done

so don't count on me
