Why do we choose to talk in riddles
and hide behind the rhymes
Conveying cryptic messages
confuses me at times

Sometimes I wish the phone would ring
that it was something you would do
saying listen to this honey
cos this is meant for you

Then there would be no ambiguity
no mixed messages or missed cues
You should know you can say anything
nothings at risk, nothing to lose

I would listen to all you had to say
answer honestly and true
Be impartial whenever possible
and confess when unable to

Lets not hint in rhymes no longer
lets be blunt, and show our hands
pick up the phone and dial the number
toss the coin see where it lands
