Life is full of
whimsical happenings
so lightly fanciful
not at all serious things
Most subject to
erratic behavior
and breezes of
unpredictable change
Often amusing
these unexpected things
bringing a smile
to your face
Playful little quaint
occurrences
whimsical happenings
life is full of them

Bitterness is a paralytic
love is a much more
vicious
motivator
Only love will drive
people to madness
to places beyond
evil
Only love will cause
an unending desire
for
revenge
Nothing is a more
vicious motivator
than
love

Heroes don’t exist
and if they did
I wouldn’t be one
of them
Conjured up in the mind
some sort of protector
good over evil
fantasy at best
In real life
never really found
once you get to know
the real person
But I wouldn’t be one
of them
if they did exist
but they don’t

The impression of a woman
may be more valuable
than the conclusion of
an analytical reasoner
A woman’s opinion could
benefit you more than
you could possibly know
at this moment
Women feel things that
other people do not
their emotions guide
their impressions
Far more than any
analytical reasoner
a woman’s impression is
infinitely more valuable

Women are naturally
secretive
and they like to do
their own secreting
In whispers and hushed
tones
they murmur and
mumble
Like the brush of
wind
lightly there and
gone
They like to do their
own secreting
women are naturally
secretive

It is a capital mistake
to theorize
before one has
data
Put the cart before
the horse
Count your chickens before
they hatch
Cross your bridges before
you get to them
Assume makes an ass
out of you and me
Theorizing before one
has data
is indeed a capital
mistake

Of all ghosts
the ghosts
of our old loves
are the worst
They linger
in corners
dark spaces
just there
Ethereal mists
we cannot remove
erase wash away
ignore
Ghosts
of old loves
are out of all
the worst

Mediocrity knows nothing
higher than itself
but talent instantly
recognizes genius
The mediocre stay
within their bounds
always the same
never changing
Talent sees beyond
recognizing like minds
genius joins
genius
Those with talent
recognize the genius
those in mediocrity
see nothing

My mind rebels at stagnation
I abhor the dull routine of existence
I crave for mental exaltation
Give me problems give me work
Give me the most abstruse cryptogram
give me the most intricate analysis
Only then am I in my most proper atmosphere
give me problems
Stagnation breeds laziness
dull routines embody boredom
being bored is the worst of all lives
my mind rebels
Craving mental exaltation
my mind rebels
the stagnation oppressive
give me work

The game is afoot
would you care to play
perhaps not as easy
as one would think
Games of life and love
both set in chance
or is it fate
who can know for sure
Winning or losing
the game’s the thing
perchance to play
grow learn live
Come now won’t you join
together makes it easier
play hard
the game is afoot
