It Makes Me Crazy 3

Wallace Dean LaBenne

When you pile food high at buffets on plates to waste
it makes me crazy.
When you glibly say "Its now time for your closure,"
it makes me crazy.
When you always take with little thought of giving
it makes me crazy.
When you don't listen but want to do all the talk
it makes me crazy.
When you barge into privacy without asking
it makes me crazy.
When you drive "tailgate" riding on my back bumper
it makes me crazy.
When you protest war and violently declare peace
it makes me crazy.
When you make a turn but do not give the signal
it makes me crazy.
When you are unkind and make no apology
it makes me crazy.
