Light Conversation Lunch
A lesson needed to be taught
This wandering wolf thought
Prowling the area Birmingham flats
Saying “we are not getting into that”
Finding the villa owned by Astin
Gate code giving without the asking
Went up a few flights
To have afternoon conversation with bites
Ringing the doorbell
“Are you gonna sell?”
Right off the bat the wolf questioned
It was the first stage to the Wolf’s lesson
Trying to find out if Astin was in debt
Something he was trying to forget
Feeling invaded
Astin made the wolf do some waitin
“What’s your price?”
Inquiry was very nice
“Are you ready to go downtown?”
Wolf was let in, Astin showed a frown
For the first half
Two of them had a laugh
Now it was time to drop
Excuse being there are nice shops
“You all are very good
Kicking the ball around like you should
You need to better your skills
And forget about the high profile bills”
Wolf explained as the tea arrived
Astin knew he was giving it his best try
“I am leaving here with one goal
Am I being honestly cold?
Or are you playing very bold?”
Back in the dungeon
Doing some watchin
Working the financial books
Spicing them up like the money cook
“Who is going to be with me down here?
Winning matches without any global fear”
Canary wondered shedding not a tear
“Will it be the angry buzz?
Or the west ham that was?
There may be some nice cherries
For Astin whose villa must be sold in a hurry”
