After I tell you this, I want to know what you think.
Believe me, I haven't had anything to drink.
Here was the strangest thing I would ever see:
A large leporine creature sped past me.
"I'm late, I'm late" is what I heard him wail
as he went quickly hopping down a trail.
He was wearing a vest with a pocket watch chain.
So tell me: Do you think I'm insane?

Humanity i love you
because you would rather black the boots of
success than enquire whose soul dangles from his
watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both
parties and because you
unflinchingly applaud all
songs containing the words country home and
mother when sung at the old howard
Humanity i love you because
when you’re hard up you pawn your
intelligence to buy a drink and when
you’re flush pride keeps
you from the pawn shop and
because you are continually committing
nuisances but more
especially in your own house
Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it’s there and sitting down
on it
and because you are
forever making poems in the lap
of death Humanity
i hate you

Him: I chose to sell my last possession
A pocket watch my father gave me
To buy my love a gold comb
She has the fairest hair of gold
But lacks just a comb
I will let go of this watch
For her to own a comb
Her: I chose to cut off my long hair,
My only beauty and pride
That i have kept since alpha
To buy my love a gold watch chain
So that he can wear it in his neck
And smile like the village chief
Him: Honey I bought for you a gold comb
Its the best i could afford
I sold my watch
To get money to buy this
And now Here it is
Her: Sweetie I bought you a gold watch chain
Its the best I could afford
I cut off my hair
And sold it to the barber down street
To buy you this gold watch chain
For you my only love
They all lost the last thing they treasured
For the most thing they desired
To show love
On Christmas
That they so much cared
