There once was a man who took issue
With using his sleeve as a tissue
Handkerchiefs hadn't any
And head colds too many
Could not blow his schnoz if he wished to!

IF I wear my heart on my sleeve
WE'RE both going to be
TOO positively
AFRAID of the imagination's ability
TO seep into reality and
TRY to fulfill two lovers' fantasies
