Bryan Norton Poet Rhyme

My Kangaroo

My joy is full in you, my bride
Without your love, I might have died
I might have died to be alone
Or languish by the telephone

A dipsy doodle, ding-dong dunce
Describes the man who loved you once
The man who made you shrug on sight
Is now the one you hug at night

I married you, and by the way
I carried you, and your bouquet
Across the threshold of our door
To be my wife forevermore

How grateful can a person be
To know your love belongs to me
Belongs to me and me for you
My pretty little kangaroo.
