The Test of Love

the twisting vulgarites of daily living 
roman holidays and greek living 
mostly bread and wine and dainty meat 
fish is allowed in egg form only 
the caviar is so expensive 
please dont eat the $100 dollar kind 
no man alive is worth that unto me they say 
they smile and walk away dont touch me 
they say dont touch me 
they are somewhere in the forgotton life 
the life eye left behind 
the sandwhiches of the dollar kind 
are not afforded to the men 
they eat no fish eggs but fish heads 
and drink no fancy wine 
smile and think of me dont cry 
life is trials and tests and errors 
no man has ever hated his own flesh 
be kind to me when eye am at rest 
and think that we would pass the test 
of love
