One Two Three Its Not Easy

~ONE TWO THREE IT’S NOT EASY~ One, two, three it’s supposed to be easy… But watching you makes me queasy Four, five, six, don’t even go there I refuse doing it standing on a chair… Seven, eight, nine - no this is not divine. I am fed up with this counting lark No more will there be waiting in the dark I am fed with you and all your ways Its time to have a parting day. When you came into my life No one said it’s like being a wife Get off the chair it’s not going to be I can’t stand you and you can’t stand me. Next time I look in yellow pages For a decorator that won’t take ages I’ll make sure he at least has a ladder And is not creepy like an adder Be gone before I count once more Take you paper and get out through that door Be gone I will not pay you, nothing have you done Except turn off my electricity and sit down on your bum. You tell me it’s an expert - in decorating you are Yet leave me in the dark while you go out for a jar... It took me a while to realise the reason the power is off So I couldn’t see when you pee in my sink now go, yes you p… off They say count to ten before you lose your temper But my blood is hot and its not distemper You leave my house, come back no more Because if I reach ten, you'll find yourself on that floor. © ~GG~ 4/08/2012
