Oatman, the jolly chap, had a boatman's cap. With oats in his pocket, he hopped and clapped. He sailed the ocean, so swift and fast, All the fish looked on, completely aghast. Oatman's boat swayed, oh my, it rocked, But he laughed and sang, never once got shocked. He juggled some oatcakes, oh so grand, While doing a silly, oat-filled dance. The seagulls joined in, weaving and swooping, As Oatman's boat kept wildly looping. He spun around, his hat in the air, With a big grin, not a worry or a care. And the oatman's adventure continued on, Full of laughter and joy, from dusk until dawn. For there's nothing like a jolly oatman, With his boatman's cap, oats, and joyful plan.
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
