(llxxxxii)
Why fall in love? why flirt and lose control
In chatting up a man and choosing him
Your lifetime mate? why take short odds and trim
Your dividend to dull affairs of soul?
As I'm one whom love once enveloped whole,
The many months I rucked its wondrous vim
I loved him lump sum, furious, merry, grim,
And merciful, claimed our rigmarole.
As he'll spend more time round his old schoolmate
Soon you'll see how fervent passion settles,
He'll clam you colds and laugh when you emulate,
He'll growl listless, much test both your mettles.
If he's all worried, then you won't get sleep,
You'll empathise, he'll posit not one peep.
(Chorus)
o sleep
o doze
o nap
