A-Lone

Once upon a time of day, I sat A-Lone the month was May I never knew what caused this thing I should have been A-Dult that spring But I was not, I was A-Lone When someone called me on the phone It was A-buse I wasn't home I lied and said I was A-Dapt A-Lone was gone that was a fact Just then oh what else should I hear Another ringing in my ears And then a knocking at the door I opened to find A-Dore Who said we must go out just then We had a date to meet A-Gain So quickly with a click and clack I hung the phone up just like that A-Buse could wait till I got back Then we went out and down the street I looked, oh my who should we meet It was A-Buse, so indiscreet To act as though we saw him not To pass him by became the plot But hark, my name flew through the air It was A-miss, life isn't fair A-miss was loud and we were seen It was a mess A-Buse got mean Then just as everything went wrong Right behind him came A-Long A-Long who sang a different song They started to argue, me oh me So off I ran to find A-Gree But when I was just out of voice I realized, this was my choice Then I sat down and breathed a moan How good it was to be A-Lone 03/18/2020
