For the life of me I am,
For the death of me, I’m damned.
Neither here nor there to you,
Well then, just how do you do?

Would you take a look at me,
Would you tell me what you see?
I’m neither here nor yon you say,
You’d like to give me away.

We meet under summer’s sun,
Before we start we are done.
Let’s make a pack, yes we can,
We’ll stick with our game plan.

Its you never is it I,
Keep your hand off my thigh.
I should have known, yes I should,
By your name, Johnny B. Good

While I wouldn't like anyone named "Johnny B. Good" laying a hand on my thigh either Jerry, at the top of the unwanted advance, I found a couple of lines that I liked:

quote:
"For the life of me I am,
For the death of me, I’m damned"

Cool.

...just bein' Bluesy

Thanks, Bluesy for your "cool" comments to my poem.

Heh.Heh Never thought of that, but you'd be right.
