Rythem and Rhyme

Hold me down
make me cry
cry through a day
when men don't cry
tears play
hopscotch down
hills and valleys covered in rain
little girls in skirts
flirt and flit
or is it
flit and flirt
make the punctuation matter
all the while
saute tables dance with
more passion
and
dance with girls
who politely
say
"arragato"
lay me down to bed
hold me tight
and know that I mean
"I love you"
