Paikin's Song

No It Is Not

No it is not
And never was
Though a one of us
Once thought it a good
That we be together
As I recall

True enough
But I was younger then
And saw in you
Something that wasn't there

And sweeter too you were
Not a thing
I'd say of you now
But so so be it

Yes whatever you say
Will you go you now
So I might change
To go to do
What must be done

I will step outside
So you may change
For your secret purpose
But nay not far
Will shall I go
As we are yet as done
Before you leave

Charles Petrie
