This Is My Last Last Poem

This is my last last poem
I don't want to write no more
I know you're hearing what I'm saying
Cause I've said it all before

I know you think that you can beg me
Getting on your hands and knees
Letting tears fall from your eyes
While softly chanting "Pretty Please"

You can buy me fancy paper
Trade my pencil for a pen
I know you still can't believe it
So, I'll tell you once again

This is my last last poem
And I knew you'll have a cow
And I'll never write another
Until tomorrow any how !

G'day Jerry ... yes, many others have said. I said I'd give up drinking. It was the hardest ten minutes of my life - thanks Jerry - Lindsay
