Funny, Not Fun

I’m funny, not fun
I’m silly, not dumb
I’ll turn on a dime
Just to prove you were wrong

I’m cheap, not shallow
I’m deep, not numb
I only share a small portion
Of what I attempt to outrun

Back up, back out
Your attempts undermine
The patience I have
Motor oil in my bloodline

I’m all fingers, no thumbs
I’m all frayed yet high strung
Please don’t sit here
I’m funny, not fun.
