We'Ll Play But Not Today
When I was young I had a toy
It is a thing not for a boy
For it breaks easy like a glass
And hurts more than a tube of brass.
I always carry it with me
But people were too blind to see
The coded pieces framing it
Were dispersed openly where they sit.
Then unexpectedly you came
The first to call me by my name
And dared to patiently gather
The toy I cannot put together.
You fixed it and made me a man
I saw your smile when you're done
But I kept my sentiments at bay
Sure we'll play but not today.
