I once was all alone, you see,

      And you, too, were alone,

And then we merged ourselves to be

      Togethered for eternity.

Alas, the vast uncharted sea

       And many locks without a key

Brought us a bit dividedly

      To mourn and moan!

We should have swapped our points-of-view

      And traded battered souls awhile

We might have learned to much eschew

      With less a messy Waterloo

And each discovered you-know-who

      And what was either false or true

And also what we neither knew

      Before the fatal aisle.
