AM I?

AM I?

Why should I care about anyone else?

Why should I care about YOU!

Why should I interest myself in your lives?

Why should I mind what you do?

Why should I worry? Why should I stress?

Why should I care for my neighbour?

Why should I talk to him? What could I say?

When I know that the old boy votes Labour!

Why should I …. why should I… why should I care?

I’m busy enough with my own life.

If I fuss and I fret and show care for some woman

I’ll likely end up with a wife.

And why should I bother with that awful old biddy

With hair like Virginia Creeper?

She’s got nits; she’s got fleas and she smells like a fish.

Am I really my sister-brother’s keeper?
