The Masked Lunatic .





Come dear let us talk and play ,
Lending no ear to what they say ,
We would make the present the rime of the day.

Look at me ,ask ,what I got in life ,
With a love-loran swine eloped the wife ,
Should I cry ,or another try ?

And you who never did marry ,
Wear the malty of many a story  ,
And prove a river to dip a bath !

Oh! No let us go and beguile ,
We would not leave any profile ,
Let us fuss with wild smiles !

I know you claim no interest,
My allotted time is going to over ,
And another client is coming in the gate .

I wanted to unburden my clumsy odds ,
For ,neither I prayed nor submitted to God ,
I was ambitious and a whole-time hoard .

Hey , let me book  another night ,
I forward a cheque  for time-ride ,
Tell your Madame ,you are well paid .

Ah! Money , I have enough ,
But sorry ,they prove scorpions in my tub ,
Oh! I have no note to play on my broken harp !

Yes ,yes I have eaten ,lots of yellow -green  ,
A museum of faces with different screens ,
Politicians ,film stars , and bottle- teens  .

Hi perhaps ,you want to ask ,
What kind of service I demand from your task ,
You may go ,I don't know ,I think I am a mask !
