Dollface

give me a reason
are you still alive
I'll trade my life for a season
a spendthrift a tithe
are you even expecting
a child in your arms
'cuse my neighbour's projecting
with his unwanted charms
I have factors and figures
a number or two
while memories linger
like a bird in a flue
could these antics be simpler
they're a lemonade stand
if you never forgive her
for all she had planned
she will hoot and she'll holler
with all she has left
till you're left with a daughter
arrested for theft.
