With You Emily

With you, Emily, I desire everything, Some blackcurrant ice cream, From gondolas to Venice, Without you, Emily, I don’t want anything, With you, Emily, I desire everything, From Connecticut, Of fine musical, Without you, Emily, I don’t want anything, With you, Emily, I love everything, To jump in a balloon, Flying over New York, Without you, Emily, I don’t want anything, With you Beatrice, I desire everything, To suck on lullabies To write poems, Without you, Beatrice, I don’t want anything, With you, Emily I desire everything, To see the pyramids, To steal the Mona Lisa, Without you, ladies I’m too sincere, I can’t forgive people.

hmm, that is funny how you tossed another lady into the mix. I loved how you were doing those stanzas though.

Are you referring to Emily Dickinson or Emily Bronte? Is the Beatrice mentioned the Italian poet, or are they simply people you love?
