Lyric № 151608
Ation
I am the fool who waits at your door,
With a package in hand, and a line to be signed.
You are the fool who stairs at the floor,
With a mop meant to clean, and a rag meant to shine.
If this poem had meaning I would ask you to seek it,
But it doesnât, and frankly, itâs a waste of your time.
If this poem had rhythm I would ask you to feel it,
But it doesnât, and frankly, Iâm no good at rhyme.
Procrastination,
Retaliation,
Consternation,
Oh, oh, oh.
I can rhyme, oh what a time,
Ation, ation ation, oh.
Suffix creations and fabrications,
Just add the ation,
There you go.
I am a fool who refuses to change.
You are a fool who never asks why.
Together I guess weâd look pretty strange,
But so far we canât even see eye to eye.
If this poem had meaning I would ask you to seek it,
But it doesnât, and frankly, itâs a waste of your time.
If this poem had rhythm I would ask you to feel it,
But it doesnât, and frankly, Iâm no good at rhyme.
I am the fool who waits at your door,
With a package in hand, and a line to be signed.
You are the fool who stairs at the floor,
With a mop meant to clean, and a rag meant to shine.
And in the end thatâs all there is,
Ation, ation, ation, oh.

That aside, I think you shouldn't have tried to make this a lyric. But, there is a lot of interesting segments in this that kindles my interest, like stanza one, three, and the refrain(s).
It also reminds of how I used "ation" in most of my last post.. though I hadn't contrived it.. nevermind that, I'm woolgathering.
Anyway, I give it a six over-all.
I wasn't sure if it was too ....I dunno, over done or simplistic or what not as a regular free verse which is why I stuck it under lyric, but it was not originally written as such, so I actually like the fact that you called me out on this.
Thanks for the comments, when I go back for an edit, I'll keep 'em in mind...
