Keeping Her Happy

Keeping her happy? That could be a chore! Whatever you give her, she’ll always want more, A malt at the fountain, a ride home from school, You think you might marry (well, that's sounding cool!) Easier I think to show her you care, Text to her cell phone, remembrance in prayer, The smile on your face as you view her with pride, A physical touch when you’re there by her side. Detailed attention that others might miss, Goofy-ass pucker when you want a kiss, The water that spilled in attempt to make tea, She dreams under quilt that you found her settee. Argue obliquely, so neither is wrong, Whistle a tune if she can’t sing a song, Crops fail, she stuffs wallet, and all with no sting, If you've found this woman, can I kiss your ring?
