Silly Me

I dressed in a funny hat,
on a banjo I did sat
strings were flinching from beneath
it held my rear, just like a wreath.

What is funny, I did ask
on your rear, a banjo mask
oh, my heavens up above
it fit my rear,just like a glove.

I turned and made a silly face,
and felt a little out of place
what I did, is already done
might as well, have some fun

Silly me, just like a clown
to wear a banjo, as a gown
say adios, to another day
get unstuck, and walk away.
