I just want someone too,
Like me just as I am,
And know that what I promise,
Its not a big ol' scam,
Like me cause I'm not rich,
Like me if I ever became poor,
Be there with her support,
Even when I can't take much more,
I know I'm not a perfect guy,
I do have a little bit of flaws,
But I'm working on fixing them,
So my future can be unpaused,
I know that I'll make her happy,
As one queen should be,
All she has to do is open her heart,
And everlasting love she will see,
If you will just give me a chance,
I can make your dreams come true,
No matter what gets in my way,
I will defeat everything for you!!
I clicked the “pause” on Trumpet Jazz
Before I went to sleep.
I fell into a sweet repose,
My slumber dusky deep.
But suddenly at 3 A.M.
I jolted bolt awake,
The trumpets wafting to my head;
There must be some mistake.
For unbeknownst to me, that button
Seemed to disengage
And Trumpet Jazz was wailing
Like some cats were on the stage.
Technology is helpful but
There oughta be some laws
Preventing what was caused because
My Dell unpaused the “pause.”
