Fool Me Once
You fooled me once with sunlit words of delusion
no more daydreams lost in sweet illusion.
So fine-looking and charming you were once
I would goo-goo eye and drool your fine looks
as soon as you smiled I was in your hooks
My flaky judgments didn't mean I was a dunce
You like to pick, kick, watch and wear a crown
constant mocking making me out a fool
as you drank your Coors beer on your stool
proving to be a buffoon and a clown
Cruel thoughts innately placed in my brain
to want to stay and try to work things out
With name-calling whirling about you lout
I've wasted my time, I will not remain
