A dog without a bone
A child without a home
Loved by many, yet alone

A comedian with no jokes
Mountain climber lacking rope
A convict dropping the soap

A bottle of wine without a corkscrew
A detective absent of a clue
Arts and crafts minus the glue

A day with no sun
A party that's no fun
The last of a lineage with no son

Some things in life are needed
In this life to get through
In my life, that is you
