Rapunzel
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, please let down your hair
you're way up here and I'm way down there
If only the miles could be spanned like a tower
I'd start climbing at once and be there in an hour
I'm not much of a painter, or swimmer or plumber
so maybe it's best if I wait until summer
In truth, I'm not sure that I'd be up to your measure,
your standards are high and you're deserving of treasure
So, I hope that you'll find a much worthier match
than this humble poet; as I'm not much of a catch
