THEORY
Into love and out again,
Thus I went, and thus I go.
Spare your voice, and hold your pen--
Well and bitterly I know
All the songs were ever sung,
All the words were ever said;
Could it be, when I was young,
Some one dropped me on my head?

"Because of circumstances, I didn't finish high school. But, by God, I read."

UNFORTUNATE COINCIDENCE
By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is,
Infinite and undying...
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.
~~~
GRANDE PASSION
If you should break your beauteous nose,
My love would perish, I suppose;
Or did your hair go limp and straight,
I might again be celibate.
Were you to slide your step, and peer,
You'd see my little back, I fear;
But lose, my love, your soul and sense...
I should not know the difference.
