I just sit at the Bar
on my nice soft stool,
and shoot off my mouth
like a damned old fool.
I say what I like
and sure criticize,
and half what I say
is nothing but lies.
I tell you what's wrong
with this Post of ours,
and go on complaining
for hours and hours.

WHAT? Go to a meeting...
are you out of your mind?
Of course I can't make it,
I don't have the time!
