I'M A GUITAR
A guitar am I
The wind plays on me
When the seasons change
A guitar am I
Someone always strums on me
When the melodies change
To flirt with someone I met
I'll start singing a duet
Or even a trio or quartet
It doesn't matter
On the squares of white and red
A drink will soon be set
And I"ll drink any that I get
But Sangria's better
A guitar am I ....
I have a sign and an excuse
To be friendly or a recluse
Or a silly children's ruse
For these I'm fated
About gypsy stories I often croon
Or of ships or of balloons
Funny mistakes I will lampoon
That's why I'm created
A guitar am I....
As for women that I knew
There are standards and rules too
And complaints, there are a few
But they're small in number
Dejected? That wasn't me at all
What didn't happen in the fall
Will surely happen after all
In the summer
A guitar am I
I may have been a tree
In me it resonates anew
I recall
everyone who played on me
And I say
'Thank you'
