FGC #16- Rondeau- Too Good to be true
Too Good To Be True
To good to be true, that's what I thought,
You'd think in my life that lesson would have been taught.
But I tempted fate and brought on strife,
And wondered where have u been all my life?
For someone like you I really could have faught.
What a catch I thought I had caught,
And how much happiness this could have brought.
Chances and risks will alway be rife.
Too good to be true.
Should have been careful I knew I ought,
But this was something that couldn't be bought,
Then you said the words that cut like a knife,
You simply don't want me in your life,
So I say goodbye to all I've sought.
Too good to be true.

Oh I enjoyed this one immensely.
ReplyDeleteThe refrain is perfect for the tone of everything else. It's a hard lesson to learn, though, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOnce I started reading this, I imagined it as a rap. Never thought of rondeau as rap, but this reads great that way. And the refrain! Perfect. Painful, but perfect.
