Rubies Are Red

When is love not mad?

By Muhammad BayazeedPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

Ruby, Ruby,

are you blue?

//

Ruby, Ruby,

what are you?

//

Ruby, Ruby,

sit with me.

//

Ruby, Ruby,

what do you see?

//

Ruby, Ruby,

here I am?

//

Ruby, Ruby,

won't you jam?

//

Ruby, Ruby,

why do you go?

//

Ruby, Ruby,

what did I show?

//

Ruby, Ruby,

what a gem!

//

Ruby, Ruby,

may... ahem.

//

Ruby, Ruby,

that was a lie.

//

Ruby, Ruby,

why do you cry?

//

Ruby, Ruby,

why so red?

//

Ruby, Ruby,

what have I said?

//

It was a joke Ruby,

a joke.

//

Some fun Ruby,

wit, jest, a poke.

//

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby...

//

Ruby is red. Red.

Red like a ruby.

//

From rise to bed,

from room to shed.

//

From toe to head,

this love is dead.

//

This love is...

Is this not love?

//

Is love not mad?

Is "love" not mad?

//

That was a joke!

Okay Ruby,

bye.

//

Dead I tell you,

dead!

//

Love you Ruby,

back to duty,

Bye.
