Poets are a scandalous bunch,
scalawags and liars all!
They’ll spin you a tale,
they’ll spin you a tale
from whole cloth and lies
and you’ll swear it was true
even looking in their eyes.
They'll steal your heart
(and your purse if you let’em)
They’ll break your heart, too
then the scoundrels
run laughing away
with matter enough
for another song, or two.
Words are the game --
wild flying, fleeting words.
They race across the sky,
they race through your heart ---
poets like sparks like meteors like comets
flitting through flitting through.
When you think you’ve forgot them
back they come again
to break your heart,
and sing another song …
Poets are scandalous bunch ---
scalawags and scoundrels all.
