Ms Merideath
Did you ever get a story in your head
A line or two just lying in your bed
You’d like to sleep but you don’t instead
You write your story - hope that it gets read
Don’t ask for I don’t know from whence it came
Or even how I conjured up her name
Or what it means or who it is to blame
It’s just a story that I had to frame
So here it is the story that I wrote
Copied line for line and note for note
All about this guy and the gal he smote
Thumbs up? Thumbs down? For now you get to vote
She’s the type you just can’t miss
Ms Merideath
A beauty that just can’t exist
Ms Merideath
The type of gal you want to kiss
Ms Merideath
And I’m a guy that can’t resist
Ms Merideath
She gave me that special look
Ms Merideath
The kind of look that lovers snook
Ms Merideath
And with that look I’m on the hook
Ms Merideath
And that explains the steps I took
Ms Merideath
I reached out to touch her hand
Ms Merideath
I noticed there a wedding band
Ms Merideath
Right then and there I hatched a plan
Ms Merideath
And hoped that she would understand
Ms Merideath
I watched the house most every night
Ms Merideath
Until I thought the time was right
Ms Merideath
I knew when she turned out the light
Ms Merideath
I’d take her love without a fight
Ms Merideath
But Lordy now what have I done
Ms Merideath
I didn’t think she’d have a gun
Ms Merideath
I didn’t mean to shoot no one
Ms Merideath
I’m sorry now I’ve got to run
Ms Merideath
It’s all her fault now can’t you see
Ms Merideath
When she said there could be no “we”
Ms Merideath
And when the lawman catches me
Ms Merideath
They’ll take me to the hanging tree
Ms Merideath
