Alicia Ruiz Ruiz

Alicia Ruiz Ruiz,
at moments like these
I feel weak at the knees.
I've developed a wheeze,
and my poor head is aching.

Señorita Ruiz,
my tongue starts to seize,
my brain turns to cheese,
my confidence flees,
and I'm yours for the taking!

Alicia Ruiz,
run away with me, please!
Choose Berlin, or Belize -
I'm not shooting the breeze -
When the chance occurs, take it!

La Bonita Ruiz,
Jumping jiminy jeeze!
We're as like as two peas.
Though it may be a squeeze,
I believe we can make it!

Alicia Ruiz Ruiz,
Oh, don't be a tease!
We can sail the high seas
(I'll take care of the fees)
All I ask, a few kisses.

Miss A.R. Ruiz,
Dot the i's, cross the t's.
I am offering the keys:
do what duty decrees:
change your status to Missus.

Ahhhhh, I love this way of writing, I don't know if you saw, but i have quite a number of poems with 5 lines per stanza, where all 5th lines rhyme. And yours has monorhyme per stanza. Love it. PLUS it made me laugh again. A joy to read :)
