high-quality nonsense

In Self Defence

Objection! Overruled! Order! Order in the court…
I’ll not have disruptions or noise of this sort!
I plead not guilty your honour, oh please see sense!
I admit I killed Cupid but in self defence

It wasn’t an accident, I meant him to die!
That nasty little naked brat of the sky.
He thought he could get me, he thought I would fall
Or that I’d sit around waiting for someone to call.

Your honour the little monster made a terrible blunder
He came ‘round to tear my poor heart asunder.
He’s got me before, I can’t do it again!
All the weeping, the crying, the ice-cream and pain.

You see it wasn’t my fault! I’ll have to protest!
Thought I admit that flying pink rat I detest!
All the oooing and ahhing, and “I love you too”!
And what is a twice crossed girl to do?

So I throw myself on the mercy of the court!
Despite what the prosecuting council purport!
Though it was very easy, I admit it’s a doozi!
You see he had a bow but I had an Uzi
