Introduction

This is for Babs Iverson's "Ask Me In December" challenge which you can read about here

When we talked about it, I said the flow and sound of the words reminded me of "Gone Till November" by Wyclef Jean which I will use to soundtrack this. It is a wonderful song.

Ask Me In December

❓❌❓✔️❓

Really Can't Say, Ask Me In December

Your Questions Confuse Me, Just Can't Recall

My Mind Is A Blank, Just Can't Remember

Got So Much To Do, Will Take Forever

Will I Have Any Time For You At All?

Really Can't Say, Ask Me In December

Gotta Stock Up With Feed And Provender

It Is Spring Now, Then It's Summer And Fall

My Mind Is A Blank, Just Can't Remember

By The Brazier, Watching The Embers

Don't Ask Me Yet, But Maybe You Can Call

Really Can't Say, Ask Me In December

My Head Is Banging, I Feel So Tender

At The Moment I Can Do Nowt At All

My Mind Is A Blank, Just Can't Remember

Maybe Text Me October, November

You Could Make It Sometime Just After Fall

Really Can't Say, Ask Me In December

My Mind Is A Blank, Just Can't Remember
