Barry & Cheryl

[merciful evans]

by evans (made this a song lyric rather than a poem)

this is for the 'relative' assignment

barry & cheryl

you got her, she got you, youre a lovely pair

im sorry she thought the grass was greener

im sorry another bloke came between ya

it wasn’t right, it wasn’t good, & it certainly wasn’t fair

now shes sorry, now shes sad, now she wants you back

im not surprised you told her ‘stuff it’

now shell have to learn to rough it

the years will show, you told her so, show she don’t know jack

chorus

court my cousin at your peril

a bakers dozen wont change cheryl

she'll stamp her feet & scowl & squinny

give a penny & take a guinea

she hasn’t changed, she hasn’t learned, she still acts the same

she wont accept responsibility

she keeps faith in her feeble abilities

she runs alone, running blind, & running out of men to blame

chorus

court my cousin at your peril

a bakers dozen wont change cheryl

she'll stamp her feet & scowl & squinny

give a penny to take a guinea

Worth reading for this line alone!

she'll stamp her feet & scowl & squinny

[Mudknot]

I was thinking the same thing.

Keep it up!
