Seven Basic Plots

'Why did I have no snow-drops?'
she wistfully whined.
But in seven basic plots there are
limits to what you'll find.

Treading lightly lest you tread
on my schemes to woo
you, regardless of whether
you want me to,
'It's not you it's me',
she protested too late,
it's the end of the time
and the line.
Don't bother to mark
me this time.
