I criss cross the room
in order to find the pen
that I need to write the words
that hopefully
will find its way
in the verses below
I`m excited
hopefully
you are
as well
a late night dinner
a late night conversation
things that never happened
for sure didn`t happen
tonight either
the table
where it took place
was round
but perhaps
not round enough
some of us
are still into
what goes on
on top of the table
and not beneath it
words were spoken
and feet were broken
go figure
so you left
so you left
so you left
no mention of the prawns
I served on your dinner plate
could it be that it is me you hate
in my back yard I found a rope
next to my beloved oak
my oak of the ages
500 years to stand tall
500 years to die
and your miserable rope
an ugly one, as well
the rope that is
there was a scent
left behind
in the rooms
of my home
I noticed the presence
as I regained control
room by room
keys remade
so you left
so you left
so you left
no mention of the prawns
I served on your dinner plate
could it be that it is me you hate
so you left
so you left
so you left
no mention of the prawns
I served on your dinner plate
could it be that it is me you hate
