Jimmy Biggs - Delta Fabliau

What patching brings is my dorsal fin
Distracts me clean from this course of sin
The tract so giving to force to thin
To scratch a living off morsels been

Relied.
I relied on you, but you lied again.

The sun’s a beauty, the sun’s so vile
Comes through dutifully, then runs a mile
Will some of these fruits be plums for a while?
The crumbs, put cutely, none too versatile…

Relied.
I relied on you, but you lied again.

Sifting peers ‘cos relationships, they matter
Fifteen years of chasing the glamour
Lifting beers in the cold embrace of the slammer
He was left leaner after
This misdemeanour. Given a subpoena and
Taken to the cleaners.

Thank you for caressing this fabliau from the delta
It brought you effervescing like a tablet of seltzer.
They knew about this. Sad that you melted.
But good for two seconds to know that you felt it.

Relied.
I relied on you, but you lied again.
