Topic: Out of Sight, Out of Mind.----------- Helena Donovan 2009.
We meet allsorts in life i know. Some enrich us, Some are just ? Well they express how shallow they are.
Out of sight, Out of mind
You shook my hand so warmly
Said “Ah, now this is grand
I’d know that lilt, a Irish voice
Sure were both from Ireland
Twas party time, some mutual friends
We shared the same domain.
Conversation cultivated
We even sang a little tune.
You enthused about your life
25 years a darlin wife
You’re Kids of three, now all grown
Fostered kids, share your home.
You made your dodgy move
It took me by surprise
Was I foolish or just gullible?
Being friendly, did I misguide?.
Ah c’mon now my dear
My hotel is very near
Sure we’ll have a laugh or to
Yeah right! I know what’s ailing you
Your mind now like a labyrinth
I’ve no wish to excavate
No riches to be found
You’re just another cheat.
The perversity of your touch
Was both insulting and unkind
Warning signs now flashing
Wife!
Out of sight, out of mind.
