Though I often watched
Many pretty girls
On the street
Walking to and fro
Ravishing, you managed
My undivided
Attention to draw.
So I jumped high
Why?
Because to touch
The sun aimed I!
From the lapse
Mortally wounded
I was about to die.
Aiming at a lamp,
While many a man
Opted to jump
For the ceiling
Bold, I did
A nice thing!
From hibernating in
A long winter
Pining for
A brief summer
Is by far better!
(The game is worth the candle)
