Useless Things

A body without the blood,
the Earth without mud.
A butterfly without wings,
a man without  fling.

Love without a heart,
a store without a cart.
A cat without a purr,
a vision without a blurr.

Pink without the red,
a person without a bed.
A smile without teeth,
a frog without it's feet.

A tear without a cry,
a shot without a die.
Me without blue,
the world without you.
