Blame Beryl

​This is a poem I wrote in 2005. It doesn't really mean anything. I imagine all of my poetry set to music but I rarely am able to come up with tunes of my own. This is one time I succeeded, but I don’t think it’s very good.

She's in trouble again
What a poor little girl
They're playing the blame game
And they pinned it on Beryl
Everything she does
Brings on the blame
Everything she doesn't
Brings more of the same
If it happens
Her fault it is
Poor little Beryl's in trouble
She always is

Hey, it's Beryl, poor troubled girl
Oh, you know it's true
She gets blamed for everything
That you and I do
She knows it's true
That sorry little Beryl

She's in trouble again
What a poor little girl
They're playing the blame game
And they pinned it on Beryl
Everything she does
Brings on the blame
Everything she doesn't
Brings more of the same
If it happens
Her fault it is
Poor little Beryl's in trouble
She always is

Everything must be somebody's fault
It can't be left to hang
At least that's what they always say
Blame must follow pain
Consequence escapes us
Leaving us free
We haven't a clue it all goes somewhere
We can't see
Some people in life
Always choose the shortest straw
While misunderstood,
They cross Murphy's law

Hey, it's Beryl, poor troubled girl
Oh, you know it's true
She gets blamed for everything
That you and I do
She knows it's true
That sorry little Beryl

We are the pirates
We've come to take yer gold
We'll take all yer jewels
But we won't take it all
because we never take a bath
We're rough
And tough
And rude
And crude
And lewd
And booed (booing in the background)
(sound mad)And stewed
And mooed
Mooooo!!! Who be the one that brought the cow on board?
We're pirates!
We're pirates!
We're pirates!
We're pirates!
We're pirates!
Arrrrrrrrr!!! Dance the plank!

Hey, it's Beryl, poor troubled girl
Oh, you know it's true
She gets blamed for everything
That you and I do
She knows it's true
That sorry little Beryl

Speed away into the sky
Leave your worries on the ground
Speed away to the furthest galaxy
Fly away at the speed of light
Don't let your worries drag you down
Just speed away and hold on tight
Bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye farewell
