'Someone!' said I, 'I’m in need of a ONE;
I crave the female human, a happy almost anyone;
Back into my memories of dating;
I am shorn of images of marriage my mating;
With such a passion for abrogating??
The wedding, a wedding 40 years married now widowed;
As of someone gently retreading, retreading bellowed, bellowed;
With such a passion for dreading;
With such a passion for heading;
That engaging the singleness despair, exhausting, exhausting
Life and death the perpetrator of here and not here, 'Don't go raging!'
Heart yet racing, mind is engaging;
Where when my heart and mind meet a special “SomeONE”
