Busybody
Don't ask me questions
if you want to be my friend.
Do not ask me where I go,
and when I shall be back.
Don't ask me about my plans.
Don't ask what I think.
I don't give free rides.
Don't ask me about money,
or if I have a television.
I might think you want
to steal them.
Don't stalk me in the elevator.
I don't want to do
my laundry with you,
or I will stop thinking
it's a washer which eats my socks.
Don't ask me
what I am writing.
It's none of your business.
Do you still want to be my friend?
You need people in your life, too.
Just don't ask me questions.
