The Ballad of Greg and Marcus
As Lindsey and Sitara clapped and sang along, we did it our way
“oh boy when you’re dead you don’t take nothing with you but your soul, think” — From The Ballad of John and Yoko
honeymooning down by the Seine, am I insane, just added these words before typing what I had pen scribed…
that lyric from the ballad’s been renting space in my head all night
think, time to take a drink
damn, this pen’s almost out of ink
as a poem, this will stink
but as a song, it will fill a rink
fuck, now my handwriting is bringing me to the brink, in other words, the line is a Blur, great band, so the error was for sure
too bad I can’t write music or carry a tune while rhyming like Michael Stipe or Billy Joel, I must sound even like a loser, but Tom was never petty
but am I crazy
or just lazy
or hazy
from drink
as I toss in rhymes from the kitchen sink
and I can’t find on Google the song of which I’m thinking
as Gotye plays, damn, I stink, it’s not Beck, but good song nonetheless
