To sleep at work
To rob banks
To break into skating rinks and
practice all night long
When I say something stupid
When I want to cheat at golf
When I really need to snatch that
last cupcake
Maybe if I don’t have the money to go to the movies
Maybe when engaged in some form of espionage
Maybe, every so often, when Andy
is talking about TV
If I can’t talk the cop out of that ticket
If I want to scare the dog
If I have to make a clean
getaway
Every time Aunt Beryl wants to pinch my cheeks
Every time Mama calls me by my full name
Every time it’s
my night to do the dishes
Quite a list, huh?
I guess the answer is, “Pretty much whenever I want to!”
Would I be using it?
Or abusing it?
