Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Absence makes the heart grow fonder Been said many many times But I'm about as fond as I could be Methinks I've proved it just fine So don't need none of that absence stuff Do you catch my drift as they say I'll permit it for maybe an hour or so But that's it and certainly not for a day There's a very severe penalty you must pay Should you exceed the allotted limit A basic one hundred kisses and hugs Plus another twenty-five more per minute That might seem like a real hefty fine But it's there to shown you how serious It is to deprive this depraved old soul He can wind up disoriented and delirious Bottom line is, please handle with care My kind doesn't come along often Treat me well and I'll be yours for life I'll make your heart melt and soften © Jack Ellison 2013
