Eye had a father once

somewhere in my life

with his fancy name

or did Eye?

Eye have conceived a Devil

in My Mind

in My Body briefly

to keep You in Line:

The Impetuous Child

Blue-skinned & Thick-haired

to get You to The Church

on time

Eye saw His Face

at The Dance

Eye saw His Body gyrate

Eye stared into His Scottish Eyes

(He not knowing why)

before He made His Late Escape

to smoke a cigarette

Eye was Born

with the proverbial Silver Spoon

and after 30 years of tarnish

Eye have polished It

This Morning
