Back when I was king
All obeyed my rule
And now like a fool
I govern nothing
Back when you were mine
I was happiest
Now seems I’m depressed
Almost all the time
Back when things made sense
I spoke gibberish
Nowadays I wish
A day sans nonsense
Presently the thing
That’s rigmarole
Is my confused soul
Without your loving
At the present time
I’m making a stance
No more song and dance
To make your heart mine
Very soon this fence
Will not hold my weight
And it will dictate
I use common sense
Know this Ragman roll
Is not meaningless
Well, that is unless
The string led to no scroll
