Clints Lesson

Clint stood out side one night,
Contemplating his matters of the soul,
And then a realization came with startling fright,
For though a woman can make you feel whole,
It's not real,
And pain will be foolishness's toll,
With all the remaking of the hearts seal.

This frightened our man Clint,
For throughout his life he never felt complete,
And in this state of lust and Love he didn't
Didn't stop to contemplate this fact, let me repeat,
He didn't stop to contemplate this sad fact.
And what he realized next was hard.
So we may guess at how he would react,
Change, or drink, or gamble with the card,
But we'd be dead wrong,
For he did neither.
He listened to a sad song,
And took a short breather.

When that was done he went out and got a girl,
For these are the facts of the matter,
With all the troubles that will set your mind awhirl,
You haven't a hope that your heart won't shatter,
But that’s what makes the good times so rare
And we should always enjoy life when we can,
And run and play as long as we can bare,
For one day all we will have is the memory of when we ran.
