To My Lost Mistress

Humour dispels rumour
You can't but want to stay happy though

Stupid stuff all around 
It's a call for the ultimate

Walk
Shoulder high

Walking tall is the first step
Of course, don't forget your rep

Even the blind that sees not
Perceives and says 'she's hot'

Please my fair lady, mind them not
What you are, they are not
The reason you see they are wrought 

Our affairs here are soaked
We tread days in a haze
As exams beckon 

We only look to the creator of unicorns
To regard us not with scorn
For while exams sneak on
We sit at the bar tending steaks

Pray for me
As I pray for you
