No Bother A Bother

 

 

Some people are bother-prone

If you know what I mean,

Everyday is a bother

A bother is their dream.

 

They bother if it’s right

They bother if it’s wrong,

They bother when they’re weak

They bother when they’re strong.

 

Botheration is their aim

Botheration is their game,

Bothering about everything

Botheration is their name.

 

 

They bother about little things

They bother about the great,

They bother when they are early

And more so makes them late.

 

They bother at work

They bother at home,

They bother in company

They bother when alone.

 

They bother at church

And in the community too,

They bother about me

And they bother about you.

 

 

They are prone to bothering

That is what drives them,

And as far as they are concerned

Bothering is no problem.

 

They even bother

At nothing to bother about

And this kind of bother

Creates much doubt.

 

There must be something

I should be bothering about,

There is something I have missed

Of that there is no doubt.

 

Botheration is a problem

But it can be solved,

The day we stop bothering

It will be resolved.
