Solitaire for Two

The heart goes to the head

With a mop and a pail of water

To clean up what was left behind

In the corners of an empty mind

What do you see when your head's in the sand?

How do you feel if you don't understand?

"I want a world where things make sense"

The head says to the heart

"But people seem to take offense

When I'm trying to be smart."

The head goes to the heart

With an ax and a suit of armor

In hopes that it will gain control

By destruction of a lonely soul

Intellect wins by defining the game

But changing the rules is to lose, all the same

"Who cares if we are right or wrong?"

The heart says to the mind

"What matters is we get along

So don't be smart, be kind."

The head beats the heart

Every time they play a game of checkers

The heart complains it isn't fair

So both resort to solitaire
