Never a good time to call.

Banter From Beyond

by Lobber

 

It’s interesting that you should call.

“Call me when you need me the most.”

Most folks wouldn’t have even bothered,

“Bothered to death,” they’d boast.
 

Boast what you will, I’m still willing…and able,

Able to and willing to listen to your pleas.

Pleas, not designed in heaven.

Heaven knows, they still don't have fleas.
 

Fleas are something one acquires … 

Acquires over time and slowly.

“Slowly” is not a word you understand.

Understand that, I am not accusing you of being lowly.
 

Lowly? You - pure, white, innocent and not guilty!

“Guilty” would not suit you well.

Well, perhaps in time it might.

Might makes right, perhaps not. Hell!
 

Hell! Not in your case, anyway.

“Anyway you cut it,” you did kill me.

Me of all people.

People, however, still say, "Let it be."
