On this night, we remember the dorks of yesteryear,
The Woody Allens, the Billy Joels, the Princes
who were talented or suave enough
to be loved by the loveliest.

This is not just a matter of power or wealth,
for the women these men matched
were powerful and wealthy women themselves.
There was something else about them,
some charm or magic
that made Ringo attractive to Barbara Bach.

On this night, we treasure these treasures,
that give us hope.
If we hone our talents
and become artists extraordinaire,
perhaps our many other faults can be forgotten
and we can be appreciated and adored.

On this night, we can dream of love
and hope for the future.
