It could be nice, us up there (2025) April Werle

Wait! There’s something up the stairs

Hold on! What if they’re in pairs

Too late! Standing are my hairs

Do you wanna go up there?

It could be much nicer, swear 

We could go if we prepare

It could be but maybe not

Not what you or I had thought

Would you care if we forgot?

I think doing it is wise

We are safe in our disguise

It’s what they and they advise

Well…mmm…maybe you are right

Fine… I wanna be polite

Ok… stifling all my fright
