The Twelfth of Never

Excuse me, but I really don’t have time I can’t stay I hope you don’t mind Silly me, I’m always losing track With your help I might get back By a quarter to the twelfth of never Pardon, could you point me in the right direction Seems I’m at a crossroads, an intersection I’m all turned around, quite lost you see I know there’s somewhere I’m supposed to be Sure I’ll try the corner of the twelfth of never Forgive me, do you know when success begins Or what a girl’s to do with all her sins I’m afraid I may have missed my chance Sounds like you’ll finally get that dance When it’s half past the twelfth of never Ope, I’m sorry I should have known My one shot, figures, it’s blown The wrong place, the wrong time, eh Story of my life, well maybe another day That’s right next year on the twelfth of never Well see you later and thanks again I’m sure I’ll give up, but who knows when What’s your name , I keep forgetting Failure, that’s right, it’s very fitting Don’t you worry, I’m quitting. On the twelfth of never 11/21/2020 The Twelfth of Never Edward Ibeh
