Finless Guppy
. . Fins to the left
Fins to the right
And you're the only bait
in town
I'm sorry
did Love disappoint ya
by savin' the day
prov'n itself ah real
four lettah word
You, kicked back
in ya pretty little costume(s)
includin' ya friends
pretendin' ta be someone
ya not while jabbin'
at the real poets
with ya comments
try'n ta reek havoc
I'm sorry
was ya appetite
whet'd by smellin' tha blood
o' they'ah potential Death
so you could gloat
Did ya fix ya a fruity
little drink ta sip on
while watc'n tha show
I'm sorry
ah ya a bit embah'rased
tha't Karma came
'round to those Fools
in Love ty'n 'em
even closah
than they wuz?
I'm sorry
ya live through
the mis'ry uh othahs
ya jus can't seem ta git
tha uppah hand on
'cause immitation
can nevah trump real
and Truth be known
( 'cause it always is )
you're the only finless
bait in tha tank
ya been a'musin'ly
swimmin' circles in
despite tha costume(s)
ya been a wear'n
Ah do like 'em though
they hide tha yella-belly'd
guppy ya ah
Bless ya Haht
