A handsome man chose a bride
Fifteen years older with little wealth
Some narrow park on shore side
Spacious apartment in city skirt
Three nice sons they educated
In middle age he took his retreat
View his wife ugly and ungifted
He would his adulthood repeat
Married young girl so deprived
Small unattractive and illiterate
He made mistake not reprieved
Of consequences didn't cogitate
He built nest with many kids
Social state, money were gone
Lost lands and house in cheap bids
And went indebted until bone
After sixth birth fell very sick
With severe cancer in stomach
His poor departure was quick
His memories folks did smack.

I would like to translate this poem
it seems you maybe use " happiness" as every poem's topic. i know another PH poet who uses 'green'. so maybe the man made a bad decision or two. maybe two marriages and too many offspring ate up his money. but was he really " Crazy" ? ? to MyPoemList. bri :)
