You asked me to write you a letter
I thought about it real hard
And figured the sooner the better
Hey, it’s better than mowing the yard
I thought of what kind I should send you
I decided to take my time
I thought, what the hell, I’ll pretend to
Have talent and make one to rhyme
It’s better than nothing, I guess you
Think it’s rather one-sided and rough
Well, I’ll just have you know, unless you
Can do any better, that’s tough!
The point of the matter, put plainly
Is this took me a long time to write
I know it’s quite short and ungainly
But it’s the best I can do, so good-night!
