If

If I had the wit of all mankind,

If I could think and never do you wrong,

If I learned to see and not be blind,

I’d be that perfect man for which you long.

 

If I knew the words to say to you,

If I used them without paused reserve,

Then you’d never be unhappy or be blue,

I’d be that perfect man that you deserve.

 

If I could grow a mane without being shy,

If I had a thousand diamond rings,

If I could simply always explain why,

I’d not rest until you had all of those things.

 

These words are all this simple poet holds,

My vow to you I’ll be a better man,

You’ll see for us as time itself unfolds,

I ask for your forgiveness if you can?

 

 

Yes I do know Mr Kipling's legendary masterpiece kicks butt - and of course it was slightly inspired by the hypothetic title

I don't know the piece this was inspired by, but I will cross my fingers and hope things will turn out alright

*chuckles* You do have some catlike abilities. Many lives and always landing on your feet come to mind that and very INDEPENDANT. It's a good poem Hon has the feel of lyrics to a song.
