A poem about love, loss, and television.
I saw you in the distance
You were that girl
The one who took my heart to St. Elsewhere
And I had to make you mine

I nervously approached you
and bumbled over my words, like Larry David
But I asked you to meet me at Central Perk
For a cup of coffee

We went on our first date
And our happy days began
Monday, Tuesday, Every day
You drove me crazy, off-centre

The Mad About You theme song became our song
And everything was fine, oh fine
But after six months, things started to change
It's like, you know, different at that point

We began to fight like Fred and Ethel
You'd berate me like Sanford to his son
And finally, we parted ways
But I guess that's life

Now I'm single, hanging with city guys
And according to Jim, you weren't for me
But those guys don't understand
They're still having sex, and the city always looks more inviting when you're not looking for love

Sometime I sit at home, alone, far from a full house
And I cry, because I miss my angel
We were two stupid dogs, in love
I think about the future, I'm about to break

I wish I could've married her
And told our children about how I met your mother
Those memories I missed
Pacing the halls of Sacred Heart, waiting for the baby to be born

But our love ceased to grow, it's development arrested
If only I could find my Pam, I could totally be her Jim
But I'm no lucky Louie
My wife's never blowin' me
And all I can think is that it's all ok
Because sometimes, love jumps the shark
And no one's to blame but God, the writer
And sometimes, the writer goes on strike
