Leniently Sentence Me

You usually wasn’t down,

You used to wear a frown

Often and for a long while

As I acted like a fun Clown

With a big, grinning smile.

Are you now in sad denial,

I am in the dock on trial

And innocently I duly plea – 

 

I am honestly guilty

Of loving sweet thee,

Be lenient with me

In your summing up.

A lustrum I’ve waited,

A sentence I’ve hated.
