Michael Coy Poet Rhyme

My Funny Valentine

I love you like a four-year-old 
loves playing Hunt the Thimble: 
I want you like Inspector Gerard 
wants cuffs on Richard Kimble. 

As Mork has eyes for Mindy, I 
am crazy, too - no, loonier! 
But, to ensnare you, I'll do "square", 
like Efrem Zimbalist Junior. 

As Elly May loves critters, and 
young Jethro worships Jed, 
I tell the world that you're my girl, 
verbose as Mister Ed. 

I seal each letter with a kiss, 
just like I'm Brian Hyland: 
immaculate in every way, 
immune from dirt, or tooth decay, 
you've never known a Bad Hair Day, 
like the girls on Gilligan's Island

A Fugitive, a talking horse and all those wonderful other references to famous shows before my time :) But all this leads to kisses on Valentine envelopes, in wonderfully romantic words. I love this endearing poem. Michael Coy April 17, 2017 at 3:59 AM How did I miss this gem???
