Living with Less

Dear, I've left something behind.
Sorry to say, I've lost my mind,
but don't fret, or cry, or pout.
We'll just have to live without.

     Something else, love, has been lost 
     or gone off to the races.
     Sorry to say, what concerns me most
     is in some other places.

Heh-heh. 'Living without' may be easier than 'living with.' As they say, 'less is more.'
