Love is Blind

Postby moonfrog » 22 Jun 2010, 05:09

Once I met a pretty girl
Who thought the very world of me
Her beauty was a poem by Keats
Her smile radiant with gleaming teeth
Her hair soft as fragrant silk
Her smiling eyes dark as ink
All went well, with my sparkling prize
Until she went to test her eyes
Now she wares thick leansed glasses
And our poor love just never lasted
“You know” one day she said to me
“I was so surprised how poor I could see,
and just how ugly you are my sweet,
so pack your bags and hit the street”
Now woe is me of the ugly kind
I yearn for a love that is truly blind

This poem made me laugh, true story or not, it is funny :grin:
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears, Looms but the Horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
