Whatever!

Whatever the day brings...
Be prepared to say to someone,
'Whatever! '
It is bound to happen!
At those moments when you have had it,
With nonsense and bad habits
Of others who could care less
You are doing your very best...
To keep in a good mood!
Say, 'Whatever! '
And leave them that way!
It keeps them feeling
You've committed to something significant.
And the rest of your day will not be spoiled,
By gossip you know isn't fresh!
Especially when it begins,
In tones of whispered confidence!
