The Guitar Man
Mama said, “Be careful, Deary.
He’ll cajole you with his singing.
Of your love he'll soon grow weary.
Only heartbreak he’ll be bringing.”
“In your ear he’ll whisper sweet things,”
Mama said. “Be careful, Deary.
Etching longing on your heartstrings,
his allure is almost eerie.”
“Misty eyes make vision bleary.
He’ll make you sigh with his guitar,”
Mama said. “Be careful, Deary.
Your bond with him will not go far.”
“Like fragrant lilacs is the spell
he casts. Then he leaves you teary.
In slumber with his ghost you’ll dwell,”
Mama said. “Be careful, Deary.”
