Who's With Me
       

good morning welcome thank you
a pleasure to see you all again
so glad you came oh my
apologies but I have to be
going it seems there's something
urgent I must do I'm
supposed to find someone
to squeeze my hand to sit
all night at my bedside a person
to drop me at the airport to change
a flat tire yes yes
before it's too late it's what
everyone's thinking just
not saying why cancel the continental
breakfast poison the watercooler piss
in the cubicles please
wait let me give you my card
it's amazing we're still here are
paid and then not the minutes days
months can anyone tell
me on what day the Fourth-of-July holiday falls
for the next twenty years ok who wants coffee I'm not uncomfortable
at all let's all make time to share who'd
like to start let's hear it who dislikes
their spouse does anyone regret having children
someone pour me a whisky soda oh
I have one never mind we can
have no drinks our goal is to make
toasts any toast in this soon to be ending
cocktail hour sloshing toward oblivion
