Out of Rhyme
Out of Rhyme
I stand accused in my prime
Of stealing nickels and a dime
But not enough to pay the fine
So, off to prison doing time
Innocent of any crime
I see the fence I need to climb
Shoot to kill says the sign
I really hope that guard is blind
Praying, the alarm don't chime
I made the fence, so far so fine
Slipping over, I crossed the line
As quiet as a church mouse mime
Crawling in the grease and grime
Wading through the muck and slime
Made it past the oaks and pines
To the banks of the Rhine
Sipping slowly into the brine
Wish I had a sip of wine
But focused on the bump and grind
I feel like I've been dipped in lime
Or covered with a lump of chyme
Sorry I had to leave behind
All those that are bound by rhymes
