Turn Turn Turn


-
When I turn a phrase,
it turns me on
to turn you around
if you do a good turn.

It turns me red
to turn inside out,
then have you turn your back
in a turn for the worst.

You turn me off
when you take my turn
and turn what I've said
upside down.

I prefer you listen in turn,
turn your key and unlock,
try turning a corner,
or turn over a rock.

I've one turn today,
don't turn white as a sheet!
I can't turn back the clock,
so I'll turn up the heat.

  2. All that turning makes me dizzy. I'll tun over a new leaf then hide 'neath it to stop all the turning.
