Rascal in Me

The gates are closed
The king deposed
And I am toast
Fatal mistake
The fire-drake
Still wide awake
So let me think
I’m on the brink
And ninky-dink
The train is due
I’m just about
To leave the queue
Discovered the rascal in me — you don’t say
You’ll never get what you see — anyway
Simplifications are free — make my day
The rest will be pricy, we hope you agree
Don’t ever loosen the screw — no we don’t
Never take spittle or glue — no we won’t
Draw a conclusion of that — you forget
Certainly not, since I never forgot
