Just a Sonneteer

A parody of “Just a Gigolo”

I’m just a sonneteer and everything I hear
Little songs are words you’re buying
Paid for every rhyme, sometimes just a dime
Ooh, look at me cry

There may come a time when words no longer rhyme
What will they say about me?
The last couplet you hear
Makes me just a sonneteer
Fourteen lines define me

I’m just a sonneteer and everything I hear
Make sonnettics songs for buying
Paid for every rhyme, sometimes just a dime
Ooh, iambic cry

There may come a time when words no longer rhyme
What will they say about me?
The last couplet you hear
Makes me just a sonneteer
Fourteen lines define me. ‘cause

I ain’t got no free verse
No free verse poetry, no free verse
No free verse poetry
Iambs get so lonely
Lonely iambs, lonely iambs
Won’t some sweet quatrain come and take a chance or three?
‘Cause meter ain’t bad
