Notes About The Poem

In this sonnet- I used a 13,10,10,13 syllable and a A,B,A.B rhyme.

There must be a name for this form?

I Love Her Goatee

I met her for the first time nearly twelve years ago, 
I never knew how much joy she would bring to me 
There's one thing for sure that I just didn't know,
I'd fall in love with a woman that wears a goatee  

I guess, when we both do come from different habitats...
Our looks and appearances can vary 
And, for some reason she just doesn't like cats 
I think, more than me, she loves my canary 

Besides her goatee, her body is covered with hair 
But that's fine, she just needs a shave
'specially under there, yeah...you know where 
She never complains, an occasional rant or rave 

One of those women, whose bite isn't as bad as her bark 
And, she loves it when I take her to the doggy park
