John Hamilton Poet Rhyme

A Puppet On Your Strings

Puppet on your strings

You own me...
own my body and soul.
You play me...
you've taken complete control.

You can do anything 
that you want ...with me
You play me... (I'm like)
a puppet on your strings

Watch me now!
You can make me, do anything
I'm willing...
'Cause I'm your puppet ...yeah
I'm a puppet on your strings

I'll be your...
tiny dancer
I'll be your...
soul romancer
I'll be your...
2nd chancer
I'll be your...
final answer

Pull me this way
Pull me that way
Pull me over
Pull me closer

I'll do anything for you
baby,
'cause I'm your puppet
I'm a puppet on your strings
So come on over now...
and play me...
pull those strings...
and I'll dance for you.

Kim Rodrigues March 6, 2017 at 11:16 AM I love this, John 7 When we can trust the one that loves us, we can trust the pulling of strings. Love the movement in your poem!

Paul Callus March 6, 2017 at 10:17 AM A tasty light poem which could easily be reconstructed and used as lyrics for a song, John. Truly enjoyed. Regards // paul John Hamilton March 6, 2017 at 11:03 AM Hi Paul, you're right, I was thinking of that, but another verse was lacking so I posted it as is, let's see what comes to me, I'm sure this will be a song. Didn't some motown artist do I'm your puppet in the 60's I forget who. Thanks for the visit!

James Inman March 5, 2017 at 11:44 AM I like it John. Cool lyrics. John Hamilton March 5, 2017 at 1:12 PM Thanks James always a pleasure to hear from you!

Pandita Sietesantos March 5, 2017 at 9:03 AM I love and very much enjoy your lite romantic take on this theme! A7 for an excellent write! When you have some time please check out a piece I penned called "I'm Not Your Puppet" (12-26-2014) which is a different take on the theme by one whose love was taken for granted. :-) Best wishes. Pandita John Hamilton March 5, 2017 at 1:11 PM I did read your puppet poem and it is outstanding, I saw it but maybe forgot to comment, thanks for the visit, Pandita, hope you're having a good day!
