Analysis of My marbles
The other day~
I was walking down the street
to my Do Wah Diddy beat
When a perfectly~
Strange……Stranger
came right on up to me
He said “Hey Mam~
Have you lost your marbles?”
I said “Yes, yes~
Have you found them?”
He said “No Mammmm~
But if I do, I Will Let You Know!
“Dang………….
I forgot to give him my phone number”
