By the Time I'M Somebody
By the time I'm somebody
I'll be picking out a stone
I'm headed in a dash
To forgetful(or alone)
I’ll be better parted
If I took the time to see
The chisel and the hammer
Wanted a picture(not of me)
I'll wait with no excuses
If the taker wants a loan
It's under and I'm over
(With no data on my phone)
I'll see the ordinary
Yet the claim is simply put
The plot, the page and rescues
Were a screenplay(with a But?)
I will ease into an easy
Yet a lay me down’s to sleep
So ask no quest to somewhere
(You'll find my plot too deep)
