Your words just failed to rally me,
(though I admit it was a near thing)
The rain just dissolved them
But such things happen
When flatterers meet
Your tricks have stopped amusing me
Though it’s true you do try hard
I can’t compete with flattery
Lest you catch me
Off my guard
You’re far too smart
For your own good
Thought I suppose
You’d disagree
To fight the world is easy
But you try fighting me
