SMALL BUSINESS MAN

I was born holding
a small briefcase
in my small business
hand

I’m a small business man

I want to make my small business
as small as I can
So I rewrote
my small business plan
on the head of a fresh pin

it states clearly
there for the eye to see
I’d like the whole world to know
it’s all gotten a bit too much for me

I’ve my
one small client
who buys
one small product
very nearly
one times a year
and it's just too much to bear

I’m small business man
building my small business
as small as I can

just a small businessman
building my small business
as small as I can

I can
just to cope with demand
takes all that I have

all I desire is my business
as it currently stands
just smaller

fewer clients
less busywork

many hands
make heavy work

these things are getting
a bit too much for me
I just need to find some
comfortability

I’ve been hiding
under my desk
for the better part
of a week

if the phone rings
I won’t answer

if the door swings open
I’ll stay really still

and pretend I’m not here

I wanna be small
I wanna crouch down
fold myself
into the perfect
ball

please
please
please
give me less
not more

fewer clients
less busywork

many hands
make heavy work

many hands
make heavy work

I’m all small business
my dream’s to be minute
barely even visible
too little to see

tiny
on an island
just my briefcase and me

my briefcase and me

my briefcase and me
