They came in the night and they wanted to take it away.
They simply said, "Give it to us."
I didn't bother to put up a fight, they had their job to do and I had mine.
My job was to give them a key.
which I did, and they were gone,
which was fine. Now I had one less earthly possession to worry about.
Still, I think I'm right in believing that I need to get it back.
And it's almost my birthday.
Happy Birthday, my friend.
Well, at least I learned something:
If something of yours is taken away, and you try to convince others that you haven't lost anything,
you can bet they won't
believe you.
