I Thought I Saw Stars
By: R.P. Lister
I thought I saw stars, when first I saw your eyes,
So luminous they were , and such an enormous size;
I fell on the floor and foamed at the mouth, with inconsequential cries
Now, when I look in your eyes, I do not flinch;
Heaven forgive me, I am not even tempted to lynch
The men who, standing beside you, display an inclination to pinch
For this insensitivity may I be pardoned,
I looked in your eyes too often, and in the end became hardened,
There came a day when Adam turned his back upon Eve, and gardened.
