One Love

Two men shared one thing
But one thing so great
They shared the love of one woman
Which created hate

The woman so shy,
Could not risk breaking one's heart
So she devised a cruel? plan
And thought she was so smart

She knew she could not test their love
Or make them run a race
She thought that she could pick 'the one'
By one kiss on her face

Now you also have to know
That these two men loved her so
And she loved each of them the same
Every day from high to low

But once the men found out
That the girl was going to decide
They immediately thought
That she would test their pride

So they dueled and lanced
And dressed in armor
And even raised cattle
Just like a farmer

They tried to impress her
Then came a strange twist
That neither of them one
For the girl wanted the kiss

So she stood in the square
In the middle of town
And shouted her voice
And made sure she was loud

She said these exact words:

"Every man, every knight
Every king within this distance
Every brave fighter, every lover
Every kind man that's in existence,

Please step forward, make a line
Stand right in front of me so
Please listen to my story
That I wish to be told

I beckoned for a kiss
From my two very princes
But they both failed to deliver
And made themselves look like stinces

So I need to find another
One who can make me feel so
In love with just one touch
From the mouth on one I know"

Then many a far
Took their place in line
And wanted a chance
With the woman so fine

But one of her lovers
Who heard this great sadness
Decided what she was doing
Was complete madness

So he created his own plan
And put on a disguise
So to the woman he wanted
He would not be recognized

When it was his turn to kiss her
She stood back in shock
And knew that her time out of love
Was over on her clock

Then she stood up and said
"we have a winner"
And he politely invited
Her over for dinner

Then he unveiled his true self
And startled the girl
And at that precise moment
Their two lives made one world
