The Merchant And Mistress

A man so ordinary
Who lived under the shade of tree
Was ready to spread love
And live his life glee

Then came a fibber merchant down the alley
Who promised to make his life the most jolly
But in return demanded the love of man
The man gave it all and that was his own folly

Soon came a mistress so fine
Who also asked the man for love
And got it in no time
Then left the man with the thinnest line

The man so ordinary
His life itself became a misery
With no love left for himself
The man often tried to kill himself

It all would've had been different 
If the man would've saved some love for himself
Would still be sitting under the shade of tree
And be living his life with glee

The merchant and the mistress
Are the most happy now
For fooling the man into believing 
The happiness in their fakest vows
