I’m one hundred percent certain
That I’m zero percent
Yours

Because fifty percent belongs to you,
But the other half
Is gone

I think in Wonderland you never come out
Fully…whole

And percentages become a part of your
Everyday
Life

Let’s talk about ninety, then eighty,
Now twenty-three

Will I ever be completely
Me?

Whatever I left back in that place,
I hope they’ve at least
Had fun with
It

Because I wish when I said
“I am yours”

I had all of me
To give.

First dentistry was painless.<br /> Then bicycles were chainless,<br /> Carriages were horseless,<br /> And many laws enforceless.<br /> <br /> Next cookery was fireless,<br /> Telegraphy was wireless,<br /> Cigars were nicotineless,<br /> And coffee caffeineless.<br /> <br /> Soon oranges were seedless,<br /> The putting green was weedless,<br /> The college boy was hatless,<br /> The proper diet fatless.<br /> <br /> New motor roads are dustless,<br /> The latest steel is rustless,<br /> Our tennis courts are sodless,<br /> Our new religion &mdash; godless.
