Should I tidy up
Or should I play
Or, for the sake of balance
Should I do a bit of both
Meanwhile I post a photograph
To Instagram, and also
Oh I don’t know what to say
Not quite my ex that’s for certain
Anne, once our next door neighbour
Said that she did not care for the term
Partner, nor lover either actually
Why not just boyfriend or girlfriend
Should I give up trying to tidy up
And while I am at it stop playing
Because I’m tying myself in knots
And maybe you also
