Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Rebel Without a Clause

I CAN WRITE YOU A LETTER
      I CAN DROP YOU A LINE

 I CAN DRAFT YOU A MEMO AND
      I KNOW IT WOULD BE FINE


 BUT THE PAPER I LACK
      IS WHAT'S GIVIN' ME PAUSE

 GOT NO CONTRACT TO SIGN
      I’M A REBEL WITHOUT A CLAUSE


 I DON'T WANT AN AFFIDAVIT
      WANT A LICENSE NOW TO WED

 WAIT,  NO MORE EXCUSES
      NEED THAT MARRIAGE CLAUSE INSTEAD


 I REALLY  DO WANT YOU
 AND THAT WHITE PICKET FENCE

 BUT WILL YOU MARRY ME SUGAR
      OR WILL YOU JUST RUN DEFENSE


 NOW MY  MAMA  SURE TOLD ME
      INK THE DEAL  FROM THE START

 YOU WANNA BE LEGAL WITH
      ALL AFFAIRS OF THE HEART


 BUT SHE  SURE DIDN’T TELL ME
      THAT LOVE FOLLOWS NO LAWS

 AND NOW I  FIND THAT I AM JUST
      A REBEL WITHOUT A CLAUSE
