THE ONE

The man with the piercing eyes

The one that is oh so wise

The one that feels like he can criticize

 

The man with the heart melting looks

The one that is king of the rooks

The one that gets his strength from his books

 

The man with the exact right word

The one that thinks what you write is absurd

The one that doesn't listen to what he's heard

 

The man with the new and hot game

The one that I think is really looking for your shame

The one that I think doesn't think we're all the same

 

The man with the tower to look down

The one that has lowered my level to a frown

The one that makes you feel like he doesn't want you around

 

He has the word and he has the sound

But don't fall under his spell

He'll turn your head round and round

And leave you in a state of dwell
