LOVE IN THE BANK

Some say direct contact with me is not wise

too many missing pieces

“that boy zig zags - the sorcerer’s apprentice

pulling rabbits out of the mad hat

for the rest of his life”

Well – looky-looky!

by the mere power of suggestion

this magician’s just talked you into

writing down his phone number

and though you may never use it

consider it darling, love in the bank

Yes admittedly

I’ll always suffer from rabbit tooth cuts

a missing piece or two

but the sound of your voice has healed me again

enough so to last another ten years

though I was the one who called you!
