MATRIMONIAL MELODIES: 2. RESTORATION by BERTON BRALEY

First Line: HEART OF MY HEART, WHEN YOU PICK UP MY PAPER
Last Line: PUT IT TOGETHER AGAIN!
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE; PAPER;

Heart of my Heart, when you pick up my paper,
As you @3will@1 do, now and then,
If you don't like me in anger to caper,
Put It Together Again.

Pull it to pieces and mess up the sections;
I, the most patient of men,
Won't raise a row if you'll heed my directions:
Put It Together Again.

When you are through with it, when you don't need it
(Which will be Heaven Knows When),
Please give it back in a form I can read it,
Put It Together Again!

Put it in order. If you don't endeavor,
Somehow to do this, why then,
My temper'll bust and I doubt if you ever
Put It Together Again!
