            Men who are ordinary ought to beware

            Those extraordinary beauties with

            Beguiling eyes and depths

            They can never plumb, thinking 

            Thoughts that exclude all of yours,

            And the little looks now and then,

            Your sliver of chance, you would be wise

 

            To look beyond, but we were fashioned

            With our own eyes and seek such beauty

            And wish to own it - a normal sort

            Of thing if it is not

            Too great, but if it is then

            There will be rivals

            Which she may enjoy 

 

            Unless she have a wearied will

            And see you somewhat the same

            The name might be in love,

            I've inscribed it so and recall

            Striving with her in dreams,

            Sleeping now, tired from

            Her latest medical procedure.
