I love this man
I really do
For many, many reasons
*
And he’s been here
Right by my side
Through many different seasons
But tell me now
When I show you
This nice bouquet of flowers
*
Would you not say:
“Oh Cynthia, wow
You’ve got such lovely powers!”
And so I did
Show him my craft
Expecting him to praise me
*
Such praise that makes
Me burst in smiles
And makes my pulse go crazy
But this is what
That good man said
Believe me, it’s no fable:
*
“Is that the old
White chenille spread
You put out on the table?”
Dedicated to my Better Half.
