Dabbledee-Do
older
I can now dabble
even dibble a little
if I choose
what can anyone say?
"he's just a dabbler!"
that's ok
I'm old
and have no purpose
for my dabbledee-do's
beyond the do'sing
do you?
if so, you must be young
that's ok
can't really hold that against anyone
but heed these words
too much purpose
can bend you in strange ways
look out!
genuine integrity counts
you'll know what I mean
eventually
then you can get back to original intent
doing yourself
real and true
babbling
dabbledee dabbledee do's
without giving a fancy fuck!

oh let's dabble!
splash and dribble
the sense of fun belies a potent statement,
well done.
cheers,
Jess
