Too Close

Hello...It's me again
I don't need nothing at all
I was in the neighborhood
Too close to call

Guess I'm late for work again
My boss is climbing the wall
But I've got a good excuse
Too close to call

Too close to your sweet lips
That's where I love to be
Too close ain't close enough
When it comes to you and me

On your mark...get set...go
'Race you down the hall
We never wonder who gets there first
Too close to call

Fine, fine lyric poem, Chuck. Has bounce and verve. Love the line ... I was in the neighborhood, too close to call. You're a talented poet/songwriter. You have real skills. Outstanding poem. May love light your path always.
