If he asked me, I'd say reoffend
For this love would not leave
And even if she's not that fond
Of you, in faith believe
This love would not leave.
In all sympathy abandon
To forsook incarceration
This is not how love is done
In any situation.
So there may be some frustration.
A love to set you free of course
Cannot leave you locked
To be the cause of such remorse
Is not the conduct of a rock
So go back to the dock.
Shoplift, or insurance fraud
Or barring that a fight
Such priceless love man can't afford
To let away in flight
For every sleepless night.
So reoffend my friend
The surest way to keep her
Give all the water in the Thames
For rare sips from that beaker
And absence make love deeper.
