Caught in the crosshairs of love

and it’s no dove but my heart flutters anyway,

anyway it can to do the can-can,

for I’m beset on more than one side,

and neither are my good side,

but ones that show me up in a bad light

despite my determination to do right.

I feel squeezed into a corner

wearing the tricorn dunces’ hat.

That’s where this love is at.
