Uma Carta De Amour

Uma Carta de Amour 

A letter of love I never wrote
“But I remember it well.”
as Maurice Chevalier sang
Once, I loved a dolphin
A swam along the ship 
We sang a duet
People said the cook is mad again
The man is crazy again
As the dwellers on iron ship
Who had a pedestrian love affair
With **** magazines
This unequal affair of true love lost
As the sea got colder
She returned to the tropics 
Fell in love with a harbour master
He was always there
At there at the end of the molo
Singing words of love.
Those in charge said he was mad
Yes, he was madly in love
He was sent to an asylum, were
Psychiatrists convinced him
His love of the dolphin was wrong
He disappeared when swimming to Martinique 
But a love story never ends.
