Exercise Clockwork..1979

This Steve, is but a simple fellow
With complex mind, and a mood that’s mellow
He lives an image, that is professional
Privately, he is confessional

This Steve, operates at a functional level
But occasionally, can play the devil
He longs to be loved, by a Special lady
With motives so open, nothing is shady



This Steve an Englishman, described as stuffy
When at home, is relaxed and scruffy
To the rest of the world, appears so smart
But they know nothing, of his heart



This Steve, with mind so complex
Can become angry, and so vexed
But normally, prefers to charm
So that all the others, suffer no harm



This Steve, with memories that loudly speak
Hides them away, to others no leak
But when the person, appears so right
Will explain all, about his fight



This Steve, shows little patience for the other
And to that Special girl, can be a bother
This Steve, gives all when the time is right
With love and warmth, there is no fight



This Steve, is really a sensitive man
Seen rarely by, the world he once ran
But that Special girl, will surely find
That she will enjoy, this complex mind



There is only one way to say

"I Love You "

But there are thousands of ways to demonstrate
