I tried to leave I really did
But myself I couldn't kid
Wrote a song, and then backslid
Trying to find another Id

But this place just called me back!
A little off the beaten track
Learning lessons, all I lack
So many gifteds,...got the nack

If you will pardon my lack of grace
Reprehensive, put my place
Lucky stars, (lost in space?)
This mudcat needs to clean his face

So please accept this 'pollogy
For I have wronged you all; I see
And most of all to you mousethei'
Will you take this sad from me?

I just can't tell you all enough
I know, it's true, I've been too rough
And after all, it's but a bluff
'Cause inside me's the softest stuff

And to conclude, I wish you Joy!
In music may your hearts employ
For after all opinions toy
There's so much love, sing out!, enjoy!

May the best become you, ttr
