Invisible Jim and the Ghost
Can you see
through to his invisibility
Don’t grasp onto
who you need him to be.
Sure, he’s a bit complicated
Let him be fancy free and overstated
If you try to hard you’ll never be sated
Change this
change that
He’ll never be that cat
Meow mix baby
listen to him scat
His ideas are deliciously fat
Lay out all the bases
It’s his turn at bat!
If you let him
he’ll move to you
If not you’ll be through
There will be nothing
you can say or do
Unless you be you
and let him be him
your chances are slim
Cause he’s cool hand Luke
disguised as Jim
hat slanted with smirk
eyes hidden below the brim
He can’t see
through your invisibility
You are now the ghost
he needs you to be
No need for explanations
to describe your decisions
You couldn’t fix him
to meet your expectations.
You made the wrong calculations!
