A Simple Lie

A Simple Lie

This happened just the other day
my lover lay upon the lawn
she sang a lay of lustrous prawn
that lie upon the ocean bed
then asked of lovers I have had.

I laid this lie upon her lips
"I laid the maid just for her hips
I've lain with farmers while they're reaping,
laid all seven lords 'a leaping.
Come evening time when I lie down
I'll probably lay a circus clown"

So since that day I seldom lie
with other than myself and I.

Thanks, really made me grin. Also reminded me I don't have to have something vital to say to write. Gives me hope.
