Stepping up

By midnights voice

Stepping up

When you step up to thee plate
there to take thou swing
after striking out you say
it didn't mean a thing

I wanted to put my hand up your dress
my tongue drown your throat
you said the thought of it
wanted to make you choke

I once lived alone
and alone lived in me
It's like looking at the night time sky
and I'm the only star I see

So Moses may have been a Mormon
Certainly Jesus was a Jew
Adam was kicked out of The Gardens
because his rent was over due

Some would call it sacrilege
others say it's all holy by design
I wake up in the middle of the night
and wonder about it for hours at a time

So the show you say must go on
I turn the screen to off
the doctor said turn your head
and I began to cough

    LOVE this one. So many clever lines. "I once lived alone, and alone lived in me." "So Moses may have been a Mormon, certainly Jesus was a Jew. Adam was kicked out of the gardens because his rent was overdue." Great work
