A butterfly on the verge of marriage <br />sought a word for 'the doings of fairies' <br />and fixed at last on 'fairiage'. <br /> <br />She lumped lovers with madmen and poets: <br />'All three forsooth, ' thought she <br />(or 'Forsooth all three') , <br />aren't happy with what they see. <br />Lovers seek to turn it pretty. <br />Madmen can't help but turn it worse. <br />Poets study its mistake <br />then try to make <br />a better universe.' <br /> <br />Glowing with such thoughtful barrage, <br />she fluttered into the bridal carriage.<br /><br />douglas scotney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-madness-poetry/
