Daftness

I love a woman sometimes daft, insane:
Loony at times to make a man run mad.
Oft have my tries to help caused me some pain:
Vainly I've tried, and many failures had.

Ever in stress, she will forget her tasks,
Yawn wide at night, and then recall that day
On which her work was due: so then she asks,
Unlucky one, her prof for some delay.

And, O!, the work to catch up from behind.
No rest for her, except when she neglects:
Young ardor, curiousity, her mind
Winning o'er gardening of her intellects.

And though she has such trouble here in school,
Yet her I love, and think myself no fool.
