Ms. Fortune

There once lived a man who was notably unique,
He had a hole in his side from which things would leak,
An organ fell out and caused a woman to shriek,
She was beautiful and had a stunning physique,
The man could not stop thinking of his words unsaid,
And foolishly obsessed over it in his head,
Ms. Fortune was the name of the woman he met,
He sought her out so as to erase his regret,
After some time he found her and was elated,
But she turned him down and left him devastated,
He tried to woo Ms. Fortune till he spurred concerns,
And the more he tried the more he suffered bad turns,
But there was nothing that could put him off of her,
He continued regardless of what would occur,
For there wasn't another woman he'd prefer,
He eventually got a love in her to stir,
Ms. Fortune once believed that she deserved a prince,
But luckily for the man her mind had changed since,
In her youth she wanted the best and nothing less,
However time told her she was not a princess,
The man travelled the world to find the perfect pearl,
Made a perfume worthy of the prettiest girl,
Crafted flawless sonnets in honour of her name,
And finally succeeded to achieve his aim,
As his efforts had chipped away the woman's pride,
She married him and stitched up the hole in his side,
She changed her name and forgot all of her concerns,
While her man never again had any bad turns,
Those who remained without love looked on with envy,
As they could not stand the pair acting all lovey,
So by being especially vile and wily,
They made sure the pair's life didn't end happily.
