Third Time Lucky

first one it's a shock

a second helping not good enough

third time lucky and you've arrived!

if you have any doubts then try once more...



maybe i was too impressed...

he flattered i was blushing

he found my _joie de vivre_ so cute and rather touching

himself so upwardly mobile, so cerebral, clever

could i ever live up to his dreams

or would i like to play a part in his scheme?

i don't think so...



i have my plans and brave ambition

knowing no bounds, no inhibitions

'nd i'm aware there's a lesson in every fall

so next time i'll get closer



first one it's a shock

later i met a boy whose inner life was his true passion

we did connect in an exploratory fashion

he claimed what tie us to this mortal coil we should sever

could i ever live up to his dreams

or would i like to play a part in his scheme?

oh i fear not...



i have my plans and brave ambition

knowing no bounds, no inhibitions

'nd i'm aware there's a lesson in every fall

so next time i might get it right
