(Possible Poetry Slam entree after some more editing, any help’s appreciated)
I know these three guys, Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
shoulda woulda if he knew he coulda,
coulda shoulda, but never woulda,
and poor woulda never coulda
shoulda ya gotta feel fa
cause shoulda coulda
if he woulda known.
but shoulda neva know
till after he knew he coulda
so he never could.
and woulda, I feel so sorry fa
cause ya neva know ya a woulda
till ya go
and they’ll be sayin what a woulda coulda
had thata.… shucks, hada happen.
with tha poor woulda and shoulda I coulda sympathize
but coulda i never cared much fa.
cause if you knew you coulda, wouldn’ ya?
but coulda always complainin that he shoulda
sayin that he woulda
but if he woulda, he woulda, ya know?
but na.
never gonna even if he could.
I gotta say,
Pray ya not a woulda,
cause a… ya neva know.
and If ya find ya shoulda though,
don let that get ya low
jus try ta know ya good.
though neva be a coulda
cause a coulda shoulda woulda
but a coulda neva would.
