Cross-Eyed in One, Blind in the Other

Cross~Eyed in One and Blind in the Other
Quizmo LaGrande

What can I say? Tis true of my fate,
Beautiful blue eyes that just can’t see straight.
I shan’t tell a lie, fable or yarn,
But the eyes of this girl can’t see worth a darn!

One suitor untrue, the other far fetched,
But still I see blindly a fortune well etched.
It’s good, you may say, that she sees in directions
Of different persuasion, through her imperfection.

A romantic, you think, by chance or by choice?
Hardly a choice of this quixotic voice.
Strabismus or not, these eyes observe all,
Reflecting an ocean of tides large and small.
