PRETENDER

The pretty voice that Tear, 

With those words that call a Tear, 

Eluding the reality to Err, 

From the desert where the dust follows the Air,

Calling forth to the deaf Ear, 

Forgetting back where you both faced Fear, 

With breath like that of a teddy Bear,

Losing taste of chicken and Beer,

The sea port is quite Near, 

And the journey distinction really Rear, 

Most thorns were for you to Scare, 

But it was eaten like avocado Pear,

I guess you feel it was Rare, 

Neither real nor Clear, 

You thought it unreal even from Clair, 

Then you set of not to Cheer, 

But to a funeral to Chair,

Guess you felt it Unclear,

Should have sort for board to Smear,

But you chose the heart you Tear,

Same hand you held in Fear,

,You now claim was untrue and Tear 

Would pretends last the 3rd Year? 

Or you said it for scorpions to Hear, 

Pretends are hardly Tender‎
