There is one matter in life,
a matter above the rest.
A matter of joy or strife,
rarely a matter to jest.
The matter of which I speak
is, of course, the matter of love
. A matter all men seek,
a matter sent by powers above.
Of this matter I have been forsaken,
forsaken as if by the devil,
Toyed-with, battered, and beaten,
by all the powers of evil.
I hope I shall soon find
someone who will be,
funny, smart, and kind
someone who will love me.
