The Last One
A pale man lay in an old peoples' home,
And told his story to a nurse's aid.
From time to time his mind did seem to roam -
She was understanding and so she stayed.
He told of the gifts that he was given -
He was handsome and strong and well spoken
And ambitious enough to be driven.
Unlikely that his heart could be broken.
Things came easy , even the wedding bell.
He worshiped her more than any man should.
Then one day she dropped her ring in the well,
And left with a man as only she could.
"Ah," said he. "It was my last easy day."
"It was the last one," was all he could say.
