Let Me Borrow Your Name
On Judiciously
BORROWING A MAN’S NAME
For a blink
Just wink
Let’s exchange
Rearrange---
A Man’s name
Buggers blame
finds the story
pith and gory
No harm done
all in fun
would relay
not obey
in the fray
Get away
Take it back
Or retract
any story
will adore me
in the black
take it back
just an error
bombs and terror
Just a minute
Let me win it
Bit of glory
For my story
Let’s exchange
Re arrange
Just for fun
No harm done
What a lark
Words will spark
And we’ll laugh
In the dark
With your name
All in bold
Any story
Can be told
In the dark
Light the spark
And we toast--
Maybe boast--
Of the lark
