After long, exhaustive search and great effort, I have found a poem suitable for inclusion in this immortal thread. I cannot claim it as my own: It is by that great poet and writer of songs, Anonymous.






Love

There's the wonderful love of a beautiful maid,
And the love of a staunch true man,
And the love of a baby that's unafraid-
All have existed since time began.
But the most wonderful love, the Love of all loves,
Even greater than the love for Mother,
Is the infinite, tenderest, passionate love
Of one dead drunk for another.
