they're spying on me in heaven
they're spying on me in hell
to recruit me for a season
or give me merchandise to sell
they offer me a wardrobe
they offer me a suite
but i'd be begging for forgiveness
from everyone i meet
i ponder my decision
it will be not be in haste
perhaps i'll try on them both
to see which one suits my taste

elazar, can I suggest this.....?



They spy on me from heaven
They spy on me from hell
To recruit me for a season
Their merchandise to sell?
They've offered me a wardrobe
They've offered me a suite
I'd be begging for forgiveness?
from everyone I meet
I ponder my decision
T'will not be made in haste
Perhaps I'll try them both on
To see which suits my taste


Feel free to bollock me if you want.

I like the choices and the reflection on Life and/or Fate. Do we take what is offered or carve our own route?

or, with charming subversion by apostrophe in the last verse,


They talk to me at Saville Row
but send me off to Gap
to employ me for a season
(their merchandise is crap)

They've offered me a wardrobe
they've offered me one suit
I'm begging for flare trousers
as I only have one boot

I ponder the material
twill’s not made in haste
perhaps I'll try them both on
to see which suit’s my taste

Hooray, here comes the cavalry to the rescue.......

I like the old saying, "When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow."

Dear Elazar,
No sooner has the ink dried on your poem when those two rascals, Mickey-one and Byron, have hijacked the thread
Ah well, I guess that's "life"

Andrew.
P.S. Don't let them bully you: just tell them to G.T.F. (in Portuguese, of course!)

Andrew, your way wiv werds is legendirical.

Go For Tea?

Gonads Fettling Treatment?

GTF, Byron, not GFT .
So much for tea...
so much for crumpets...
so much for gonads fettling treatment .

I think I see an ink smear, Andrew. I don't think it was dry yet . That's life...

Drats, she's noticed I'm dexlickit. But only wiv capiatls, like Lodon, Wishingtime, Mooscof, and Editbrother.
