Ok, I’m No Shakespeare
But Did You Smile?
Tell me, please, what's in a name
Or gray hearts when blue sky’s are sunny
I am the skin in the games that I play
Giving Shakespeare a run for his money
Dealing sweet rhymes
In bi-level lines
Making the irony funny
After all of this time
Everything feels benign
Busy bees simply working for honey
Lyrical treats
And measures in tempos
Soothing the beasts
That employ the eye rolls
Sticky word plays
To Ignite the senses
Finessing the phrases
Collecting the Pences
Nickels and dimes
A few dollars and sense
Trading the rhyme
For a little more cents
Beautiful bouquets
With incredible scents
Like a scene in a play
Where torture is your friend
Tied up in torment and love on display
Exit stage left, as the final act ends
