I Ask You Daphne - Tom Ball

How does your garden grow?

You say you are tired of talking with me to and fro

And I am a disgrace and must eat crow

I said I want to know about your garden

Harden

Not your heart

You say I am such an old fart

But I am just playing the part

Of an elite thinker

You say I am just a drinker

Who wants to tinker

With the system

Per diem

And you say I want to make you a victim

I say listen to me, I have wisdom

I have brain apps which give me total knowledge

And let me go out on a ledge

And say I want you and I to have sex

I know you just broke up with your ex

I know you are suffering the ill effects

And for me you are perplexed

But I want to be your next

Lover

You and I, we have much to discover

And you have the look

Like they talk about in books

I know you will brook

No dishonor

But I am a man filled with honor

Do me a favor and love me hard

I tell you its in the cards

And I am one of the bards

I will fill you with delight

And everything will be alright

And even out of sight
