A Ring Of Humor

by Oscar Lopez

A ring of humor that I came to own
Along with it, a heart of stone
Given with love, accepted with a smile
Only to have it last, just for a while

It was to be the one true ring
And that it was, such a painful sting
A ring of humor that I come to posses
A ring to her, worth less and less

My hopes and dreams tied to a ring
But now it is, such a worthless thing
When you were picked, I was not
When she said yes, she had forgot

That another heart was in her way
Love you, she said, still every day
A kiss for him and a kiss for you
A kiss from love, I thought I knew

A ring of humor, oh so very round
A deserving fate, perhaps was found
A ring of humor, now found with me
Now a painful lesson for me to see
