epics very scurrilous

but I took them all in,

crazy tales of passion

made mine seem thin

 

lovers by the dozen,

flights to every shore,

my ups and downs

a comparative bore

 

the facade collapsed,

your name's phoney,

landlord dropped by

called you Miss Toni

 

you talk up love but I

know not who you are,

little Miss Nobody or

exotic wandering star?

 

words on quicksand,

truth comes and goes,

gouts of cold reality,

a fairy-tale of woes?

 

slanders old swains,

putting in the knee,

I wonder what you'll

have to say about me?
