Penelope - Anthony Howell
Penelope
To do what you undid
The night before
To undo what you did
The day before
To undo what you undid
Again the next night
To do what you did
As you do the next day
Only to undo it again
Just as you did
The night before
In order to do it again
Just as you did
The day before
The day before
Just as you did
In order to do it again
The night before
Just as you did
Only to undo it again
As you do the next day
To do what you did
Again the next night
To undo what you undid
