june

is my name,
it is, it is,
my father said so.

my father said so,
he said so.
when you lend money,
don't expect a return.
when you give,
you don't always get.
when you give,
you give,
and they take.

my father
was right.
i never saw
the 65 cents again,
i've been short
2 dollars since 7th grade,
and lost
even more
in 11th.
after 12th, i learned
to give happily,
to smile
because they smiled
when they said
thanks.

so here.
i want you
to have it-
i can't keep it
anyway.
no problem,
you're welcome,
yeah yeah yeah.
any time.
