Love Letter

.

    
    
    My dear miss Camella, you move with such grace, 
    And your lips are so sweet, flies swarm round your face   
    When you first smiled at me, i foolishly grinned.
    Then you puffed out both cheeks, and loudly broke wind.
    Like a ship of the desert, with a camel hair coat.
    Just letting off steam, with a double bass note.
    It was love at first sight, despite all of my spots.
    For the touch of my leopard skin, gave you the hots.
    I love how you swagger, on oversize feet.
    While those knobbly knees, makes my heart skip a beat.
    Or the way that you squint, with a glint in your eyes.
    When you spit from ten paces, and pick off sand flies.
    Well now i must tell you, i'm going to propose,
    If you will say yes, and wear my ring through your nose.
    We could be a couple, and create our own kid.
    While it would be unique, to raise a goofy hybrid.
    I'm sure that we could, if we tried very hard.
    Well, whoever has heard of a camelopard.
    Please don't take the hump, i'm not having a laugh.
    But maybe our baby, could be a giraffe. 
    So my dearest Camella, please make me your beau.
    I am yours, ever faithful, your handsome Leo.

     11/ 5/ 2017.
    If it is of interest to anyone, a camelopard is an archaic 
    word for a giraffe.
