I Almost Married Opportunity

Opportunity, so beautiful,
Appeared to me one day.
I viewed and contemplated her,
But turned the other way.

So Opportunity left me,
Searched across the land.
And in a nicer place,
She found a better man.

Now he is joy and great success,
With Opportunity by his side.
While sitting, I, in a cardboard house,
Have nothing left to try.

If Opportunity returned to me,
I'm sure of what I'd do.
I'd likely turn my back again,
And off she'd run with you.
