You say I'm a villain then so I'll stay But sleepy sheep can't sleep on this wolf's bed So please, just keep the flock out of my way
College left me poor for a rich BA Where's the job for the books inside my head? You say I'm a villain then so I'll stay
I lived right, light, didn't think I could stray the dough needed, I never raised for bread So please, just keep the flock out of my way
I can't act smooth like Sidney Poitier My rough street skills are what I use instead You say I'm a villain then so I'll stay
I feed the lost sheep and you know I prey My soles clean, tweeds neat; I'm looking ahead So please, just keep the flock out of my way
I've found my niche; today is my pay day Short shifts but alms long like my daydream spread You say I'm a villain then so I'll stay So please, just keep the flock out of my way
My first attempt at villanelle. Really challenging. I'm satisfied. Are you satisfied? Are you a villain?
