I Once Knew a Lady From Seattle

I once knew a lady from Seattle. When she stole my heart, I was a horse without a saddle. With long blonde-brown hair And a devilish grin, She smelled of baking  Powder and cinnamon. That's no jest, She bakes the best, Though kisses even better (On the nights we find a sitter.) Oh, she'll ring your bell, But, alas, gentlemen never tell. Six years wed The wild joy of children Pulled in a sled, Crying and laughing,  Stomping and romping, And that's just us, As lovers, As partners, As friends. Stepping into the future  With you in hand, Is a wonderful miracle  of madness and love,  support and struggle,  sandwiches and sandwiches. Suddenly hungry, I've lost my rhyme. Not to fret, though,  My love I have found in you, through you, as we breathe as one Along our endless laundried days. Like a deleted lovers scene  From the movie "Lagaan," We sing and dance for the other Laughing into the sun. Happy 6th Anniversary, Babe, I repledge my love to you. My heart is a duck parade And your the kazoo.
