The Answer is No

I heard the master plan—

Time to become a man—

Of which I was no fan.

Yes, I heard that damn plan,

From which I never ran.

I also wouldn’t scan—

I wasn’t any fan,

Hearing the master plan—

The real need to be man.

Still, I stayed—never ran—

I wouldn’t try to scan

Hearing the master plan.

No, I wasn’t a fan

Of the call to be man.

Yet, in time I did ban

Avoiding the whole scan—

Stopped staying—so I ran—

I knew the bastard plan

And I wasn’t a fan

Of pushing for a man.

Like grinding wheat for bran,

Yes, in time I did ban

My resistance to scan—

I didn’t stay—I ran.

No, I was not a fan,

Of being a damn man

It was never my plan.

Listen here if you can,

Like mealing wheat for bran,

I, me, will stop and scan

Anyone else’s plan.

Hell no, I am no fan

Of being just a man.

I heard the master plan—

But I won’t be a man.
