I'll play the tinker toy, You play your game. Use me, abuse me. For boredom, I'll take blame. Emotional backboard My role and my place. I'll keep you happy Til you forget my face. My role as your keeper, One of tarnished brass, Is full of rewards Seldom worth all the gas. And please hear me beg you, A toy of my own, To fill in the space, That you just leave unsewn.
