That Was An Odd One To Intrude

Oh, it’s you
Saucy minx
Flint and fire
Gentleman’s jinx

Hold it out
Hold it close
Pull it back
When it’s needed most

I’ll never lose you
God knows I’ve tried
Poisoned the breadcrumbs
Bred the flies

Help me out
You’re good at math
What’s left when what’s left
Cuts ever in half?

Suitcase briefcase
Purse and clutch
You met me empty
Just the once

Hold it out
Hold it close
Pull it back
When it’s needed most
