REFLECTIVE EYE

ASK MYSELF WHY REVISITED... an eye's tongue lashing ... dedicated to Lynne

REFLECTIVE EYE

I look in my eye and say hey big blue

They're really brown, I guess I fooled you

I asked, do you see that "free will" is for keeps?

Of course I swear on my big brownie peeps

So what's the story, will I ever go blind

To the wicked tyrannies of a troubled mind 

Of course not doll, you're smarter than that

The rabbit'll pop out & eat the master's fat hat

So let me get this straight, I'm free to be me

Yes indeedy my sweet, be the best eye you can be

No worries, no strife, you big hearted soul

The jackasses & duffs can't charge you a toll

I breathe in the air, my eye gleams with joy

To never be manipulated like a goddamn toy

Ah at last, my eyes open wider than wide

Lightin' up the big sky, never going with the tide

LeeLee,
So damn witty, cute and every other good adjective I can think of.
And you dedicated this to Moi? I am humbled and smiling a coat hanger in the mouth grin right now.
Now I'll need to think of one for you. Yes, I'm going to work on that.

Thanks, Dixie Lee Lee

very nice. kind of tongue in cheek at parts - funny with an underlying sadness. lynne with love it.

[An Ordinary Woman]

I love the wordplay, and also the bits of fun tucked neatly inside. But I see the serious side as well, so all said, it packs a punch of power that makes it both a delight and fun. Well written ....

[Pepsimax]

very comical and emotional, love it. some rhymes were brilliant and the general theme, classic and original, you beutifully got your point across
