You're Outta Here!

You looked me in the eye

and told me you would never lie.

Then you wrote those words of regret

letting me know , so I won't forget.

I don't want a boy, Roy.

Just get on the bus ,Gus.

I want to be free, Lee.

Don't need no green, Gene.

I won't fight you on this,

For you I will not miss,

Here's the keys too, son

Just take the money and run!

Brilliant!
I like this one, the flow, the rhyming, all just wonderfully crafted together and yet with words, wonderfully piece.
