That Pretty Scarf




A dirty red bandanna
And a scarf draped on you
Around your neck
I could be that scarf
Draped on you casually
And people would compliment
Your choice in scarves
?Look at you? they?d say
?Pretty thing you?ve got on? they?d say
Pretty young thing
Me
How desperately it compliments
your attire
Pretty young thing
Holding to what it knows best
Its love, its desire
Pretty young thing
?Pretty scarf you?ve got on?
I say
?Pretty scarf you?re wearing?
How easily it could be me
How easily and casually I
Could be worn on you
Keeping you warm when nights
are just too cold
Pretty young thing
Pretty young me
?Truly a lovely scarf? they?d say
And I would be, or I know
I could be
Holding on so tight
How well we?d compliment
Each other
Pretty young thing
Pretty young me.
