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”
