I've heard it said that pain
Often lays entwined with pleasure,
yet most rent them in twain
Not wanting the both of them together.
As one with neither, I must scoff.
Do they think they're better off?
Without savor, what is sweet?
Without legs, what use are feet?
As one without, I would fain
Instead of nothing, take the pain.
