no, not just one partner
for here and ever after;
he needs a timorous blonde here,
a ballsy brunette there
he cuts off pieces of each,
makes a dreamcoat wife
not a singular trouble and strife
no, hes no fool
he needs a redhead for fire
after all,
intelligence, compassion and poetry
from his bespectacled mouse,
he collects strips from them all
pins them up on the wall
gets his mother to sew these seams
into the woman of his dreams
