Left In the Rain

I bought my teeth down a country lane I whittled myself a walking cane Took a tonic for arthritis pain But there's nothin' wrong with this old brain I think about the past in the main Most about a lover I called Jane Always hoped I would see her again But she left me standing in the rain Seemed for awhile I would go insane In time my longings began to wane Learned to be a loner and abstain And I tried hard to become urbane So I think of dragons I have slain And perfumed beds where I have lain And all the while I'm circlin' the drain Missing that lover that I called Jane 2-10-19 Contest February Week 2 Sponsor : Brian Strand
