Maybe I Should be Thankful
I suspect that Claudia's garden is rotten with spiders and snakes.
I can't say why. In fact, I'd hoped to spend time with her in that
Dangerous place, but I've not been invited. I come by her stall
In the market to woo her. I purchase some radishes, say that
Her hair's looking lovely. I do everything that I can to show her
That I crave both her and her garden, but she seems to feel
That that guy selling fish is the one who's worth ushering
Through that gate, and I am nobody. I'll never gain entrance
To what, in all likelihood, shouldn't be entered, as it's full
Of spiders and snakes.
