I would if I could
I WOULD IF I COULD
By The Urban Poet
I would if I could but I can’t so I won’t
Do things I don’t do in the heat of the mo’
Pull ladies that are half my age
If you think it’s ok then
we’re on the same page
Now there’s things that I would like to do
Such as paragliding when I’ve had a few
A bungee jump would go down well
But the truth is mate, I’m scared as hell
I’d love to karaoke to all the top tunes
But I reckon that I would clear the room
‘Cos poetry is my thing you see
So you’ll have to put up,
with little old me
Now when I really get going
there’s no holds barred
Especially when I’ve had a few jars
There’s a chance some verses
you might have missed
So I’m sorry if I’m a bit Brahms and Lyst
But the poetry always seems to flow
At every gig and at all the shows
But you may have had enough
and want me to go,
Well I would if I could, but I can’t so I won’t!
