Paikin's Song

I Would Speak To Mark

I would speak to Mark
If he isn't too busy
For I don't quite wish
To pull him from his work
Despite the high import
Of what I must say

And she but stared at him
Not quite sure
How to respond
As Alex but looked to her
Some passing strange
The way he spoke

So yes you wish to speak
For if it is as such
Of high import indeed
He won't so mind
Being pulled from work
Because he's just that kind of man

Then yes indeed I do
Pull him away
From his good work
As yes I must speak to him
Before I go away

And you are who
Or is it such a matter
Beyond my need to know
That I should merely say
Mark please come you here
A man must see you now

There's no need of that
Tell him it is Alex
I'm sure that's name enough
To get him to come
