It Makes Me Crazy 5

Wallace Dean LaBenne

When you smack your gum...Or chew food with open mouth
It makes me crazy.
When you dare to tell...Someone else how they're thinking
It makes me crazy.
When you cut in line...Where others have been waiting
It makes me crazy.
When you don't respond...To e-mail you have received
It makes me crazy.
When you lie and steal...Exploiting the innocent
It makes me crazy.
When you make the claim..."I know just how you're feeling."
It makes me crazy.
When you blame parents...For your unproductive life
It makes me crazy.
When you have become...Negative and self-absorbed
It makes me crazy.
When you take hours...Requesting just a minute
It makes me crazy.
When you expel gas...Or burp without excusing
It makes me crazy.
