A Dire Tenderness
Never deny that I warned you
Of the terrors that lurk in the Park;
Never forget how I scorned you
This isn't some laughable lark!
Always remember I love you
And take you home when it is dark;
If ever I call myself "Guv", you
Would know that I fancied remark!
Sometimes think tenderly of me
And like a loyal dog I'll abide
I remember when you warmed me
Lest I should become cold inside.
Twice you may call me the rapper,
And we'll dance to the samba's wild sound
I turn off the light with my clapper,
and sit while the world turns around
Always remember the lyrics,
And never forget how you hate them.
Don't change the meter, oh deer lick!
Or rhyme schemes, lest someone abate them
