Don’t Don’t Don’t

In my spare time, I like writing poetry, and I’ve often written poetry to songs…or what some would call lyrics. I do this when I’m stressed or have something that I need to get off of my chest.

This little ditty I wrote from the Gershwin classic “Do Do Do”, sung by Mel Torme. It’s called “Don’t Don’t Don’t” and it basically exhorts someone NOT to do something. The musical guide is provided in the link. 

Don’t Don’t Don’t

Oh why, why, why,
Can`t you see that he
is bad, for you
I don`t know why
He has such a hold
on you, Kenny?
I can’t believe,
Won’t believe
After all the sadness
Think of him
and pleasantly?
You’re a fool
total madness
I don’t, don’t. don’t
understand what’s in you’re
head, dear Kenny
I won’t, won’t, won’t
let you make mistakes
again, Kenny
But if I’m being blunt
You’re acting like a stupid…guy.
So, do, do do
and get hurt hurt hurt

Again.
