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
