Playing it *Safe*

I teased him and called him a chicken
because he wouldn't come out and play
he wouldn't visit my fantasy world
in his own - he preferred to stay

I thought he had a little fun in him
and boredom would soon set in
so I invited him to my silver lair
to dance and sip some gin

But flashing the lights right in his eyes
pushed him further away
he's staunch and stubborn - that's for sure
and he won't come out and play

But the more I think about it
it's better that he not
For he's feeling safe to sit and chafe
and I won't give what I got

It was sorta bad on my part
there's a little devil in all
I meant no harm - to tease his charm
but temptation preceeds a Fall

I don't want to stumble or tumble
and wind up on the ground
for it took so long - to get here
and I don't want to loose what I found

For even the fun of a child
as seen through an innocent face
can tarnish his golden intentions
when put in a humid sad place

I've always learned the hard way
through lessons and thru test
and again I see the wisdom
that "left alone" is best
