The Perfect Woman

I‘ll never find a perfect woman,
Than the one I have.
Tranquil my heart all moments,
Pompous me real then and next!
Kind, patient and supportive,
Strong, courageous and classy,
I paid a little dowries to have her.
Two male goats and a drum of brew
She never akin to that lone,
But wasn't Lucas’ ever!
For the clan and family sought,
As appreciation for perfect woman!
