Heart’s Life

Heart’s Life
2331

Tom took young Ariel for a spin,
(She was his heart’s desire)
For Ariel was a “fly” young thing
But Thomas, he was “Flyer”

Some day he’d win that Deere young heart
Between those shoulders narrow,
And hoped that soon the little god
Would Pierce it with an Arrow

E’er many Moons should wax and Wayne,
He’d see the courtship ended;
Some morn when Gabriel blew his Horn
Their two Soules would be blended

A few Moore suns would set at eve
Thro’ milk-White clouds and honey
Then he would Ford the stream of Life
In cHaynes of matrimony

All Oldsweethearts would he forget,
The richest and the poorest,
And Ariel would be his Queen,
His Peerless Royal Tourist!

He told her all this stuff a while
In hopes ‘twould make her happier,
But she was bored and soon grew tired
And sleepier and Napier

This maid who gently gave a snore,
(That snore-how he did prize it!)
Was Neverout so late before;
Tom did not Reo-lize it

Alas! How Fortune Knox us ’round,
But ’twas to be expected,
For Tom had talked, O much too long-
He got thrown down-rejected!

What sad reMors sat on this youth!-
He saw what Fate allotted;
So he committed suicide
On Walt ham that was potted!
