Thanks Anyway 

Thanks a lot

I’ve often got

With thank you very much

I am touched

But it’s thanks anyway that gets my goat

It certainly does not have my vote

Must you make it as terribly clear

That my help was zero and not revered

Must you not so politely shout

That my aid didn’t actually count

Must you softly grumble

That at my job I crumbled

Must you of my failure make me aware

And be the cause of my minute despair

Tell me, is there really any need

To belittle my deed

And add the word anyway

To make my world just a little grey

A mere thank you will suffice

And will be really nice
