Chin Up

Play the chords
That make him sing.
For chance has taken
On the wing.

Chirpy birdy
Chitter chat.
Keeping secrets
Beneath your hat.

If you can stand it,
So can I.
To hear your silence,
I defy.

From your cage,
The world's a stage
And silence stings
Your wedding ring.

You knew it proved
To be too hard,
While grass grews green
Outside the yard.

To cut it seems
To be a shame.
But lawns still hiss
With Summer rain.

Was it worth it?
Did you win?
Your song now takes it
On the chin.
