i went in today
to see
what you all had to say
'bout the poem's i throw your way
to hear
if you're near
where i be

imagine my surprise
the look in my eye's
when there were 9 reviews
for a write i didn't do's

"a single star"

someone wrote
but take note
tweren't i
that drove that car
wonder why
it's on my site?
didn't write
it, least not last night

those of you
who know me
those that be true blue
should see
tweren't me

those that know's
i drink alot
i forget
i get wet
i mighta' forgot
but i went into "add & edit"
it weren't there
least not for awhile
wish i could read it
maybe it's my style

i do remember
maybe it was December
i did write
about "a single star" that night
but not recently
so decently
i say...

are these just words that came back
to haunt me
cut me some slack
i do lose track

word's be what they be
they do haunt me
they do taunt me

but "add & edit"
said it
i ain't the one who's do
these re-Views

so by who ever it 'twas
who wrote
"a single star"
take note

i give credit
where credit is due
e-mail me a copy
please do
i'd like to see it
to be it
is it good or is it sloppy

and by the way
what can i say
9 Reviews
i never get
and never forget...

"a single star"
by far
must have been a good write
but take note
i didn't write it
least not last night
least according to "add & edit"
so forget it

or maybe i just forgot
"a single star"
out there so far
was i really drivin' that car?

i hope not
i hope so
but what do i know
'cept "my re-views"
and " add & edit"

there
i've said it

give credit
where credit is due
guess it's up to you
