Rhyme For Our Time

SOMEONE LIKE YOU

(with apologies to Adele) I heard you’ll be back

in town, Which is great, since I’ve

been feeling down. I heard that your dreams

came true — Guess your gig in Hyde Park will mean big bucks for you. Old friend, I know you’re

not tight Ain’t like you to hold back when you hear of my plight. I hate to write this to

you uninvited But to see your big show

I’d be so delighted. I just hope to see your face And that you’d be reminded how your voice gets me excited. Never mind, I know

someone like you Will wish nothing but the

best for me, too And if you send me

the cash For your highly

priced bash. Sometimes begging won’t wash, but sometimes I need the dosh. Sometimes begging won’t wash, but sometimes I need the dosh!
