I remember it well –
You sat all alone,
You were young and naïve?
And longed for a home.
I too was lonely,
And looking to find –
A friend who was loyal,
Respectful, and kind.
I looked upon you,
And your soft, subtle glow –
You lit up the room –
It was then I did know.
You were the one
Who would brighten my nights –
Sing me a song
And bid me “good night”
I knew I could love you,
And live out my years-
In spite of your weight,
And rabbit – like ears.
You inspired me to laughter,
You brought me to tears –
We mourned J.F.K
In those black and white years.
Clean and respectful,
You never did swear –
You took no offence,
If I fell asleep in my chair. |
On you I could count,
My breath of fresh air –
But many years have now passed,
And the magic’s not there.
You have grown through the years,
But not of the heart –
I fear My lady and I
Are now growing apart.
You have channeled much knowledge,
You are broader in scope –
I know, never touch you –
You seem so remote.
You have changed, oh, so much –
You are slim and now tailored –
I don’t turn you on like I used to –
You swear like a Sailor.
You are lighter of late –
You have lost so much weight.
Your ears have been fixed,
You are now quite a dish.
Now, your arrogance shows –
You have sunk to new lows,
You exploit those in need-
That your ratings may grow.
I must draw here the line –
This marriage will end,
If you don’t clean up your act,
And respect me again.
