Paikin's Song

No Say It Not

No say it not
We were friends
You couldn't have faked it all
You're just being
An ass right now

If that is how
You wish to think
What care I
That you would deny
The truth of things
Just to make yourself
But better feel

Maybe yes
Like how you strive
To make me feel worse

Yes indeed
But it has the good
Of being true
And if it's all the same to you
It's time we fought us now

Charles Petrie

Paikin's Song

Well Want It I Do

Well want it I do
So no choice have you
My old friend
Tougan about to be
But beaten down

So much for friendship
Maybe I was wrong
To think it was
What I thought
But we all us learn
In the living of life

Yes you were
Quite wrong indeed
As we'd not have been
Friends in life
As normally lived

So you say
But we could have been
Bitter here too
And that we weren't
For many years

It just served me well
To fake it friendly
And believe you me
You were easily fooled

Charles Petrie

Paikin's Song

And He But Smiled

And he but smiled
In his reply
Did Sopadin
Cracking his knuckles
And flexing his muscles

Well it's long past time
These they learned
A different way
And weren't no more
The coddled fools
You've let them be
Or here we'll ever stay

What say that
You think we could
Yes escape us this
You are but a greater fool indeed
If that you think

Yes I do
But with your voice
The loudest heard
No not ever
Would this so be the case
So of course you'd think it so

All the more reason
Have I now
To win against you
In this a fight
I want me not at all

Charles Petrie

So You Really Want It Thus

So you really want it thus
Forget the years
That we have been
As so I thought we were
And fight because
You've thought else
For however long you have

Yes indeed
That's the gist
I'd have you know
But shut it shut it
This but needs
To be but settled
Fist to fist
Which is sure to be
Harder on you
Than it is on me

And the others they scattered
Not wanting to feel
But anything of
The looming fight
That surely was
In Soppadin's favour

Oh scatter yes you fools
I think not much
Of any of you
At all at all
And when we're done
I will be the one
To be the voice
That speaks the loudest

After speaking so
To these good others
What makes you think
They'll but listen
When you've done shown
Your contempt for them

Charles Petrie

Paikin's Song

The Tone Is Not

The tone is not
Nay not simple enough
For you old friend
Well how about this
Look at where we are
There is no room
For the care you would
Yes would wish you for
This nobody dead

Yes I thought that was
The gist of what
You meant to say
Though I wanted it not
To so be the case
We must now
But settle this

I suppose we must
Which is too bad for you
For we both know
I'm the better one
Of the two of us

Be that as it may
This I cannot allow
To go like so
As your uncaring way
Needs but end so now

Then make it end
If so you can
My old friend
But I surely doubt
That you so can

Charles Petrie

Paikin's Song

Such Words Of Yours

Such words of yours
They be to me
The slapping of my face
And you but know
I take me not
No slappings well

So now I ask of you
To sorry say
And I'll let it drop
For we are friends
And have us been
For years as since
We met us when

I'd do it if I could
For no wish have I
To fight you now
Or ever at all
But no indeed
You have a need
To sorry say yourself
And then as then
This'll be done
And we'll bury him
As so he deserves

No I'll not as do
The making sorry to you
For this is not the when
Of the properly polite
But is instead
A cold prison cold
Or had you forgotten this
Since you so ably adapt
To your wherever

Say what you mean
Dear Sopadin good
For I'm not clear
On what you mean right now

Charles Petrie

Paikin's Song

Take It Back

No say not so
For even the hearing such
Is a crime to my ears
For you know you well
That mad I'm not
So take it back

Well what am I to say
When if he was a spy
And why oh why
Would now they do that
He'd not fall prey
So easily so
To the creepy things

What does it matter
They why of his failure
All that matters is
That he failed he did
To spy on us
Thus we should rejoice
That died he did
Before he caused us harm

It matters yes it does
For your belief
If belief it is indeed
Is in need of proof
As so it is
Without no proof

And the others five
They quietly stood about
Not any a one
Eager to interject
Just quietly awed
That they were seeing
Such a breaking betwixt
These two friends
As so it seemed to them

Charles Petrie
