But




Me? Corny?
No.
But...
        ...
           ...
  I dream that I could go to war 
        simply so a picture of her is nestled 
            in my top shirt pocket 
               at all times.

 I'm still not corny, man.
But...
        ...
           ...
   I fill my mind with thoughts of entering Noah's ark with 
   her for a (150 day) date 
     Hand in hand 
         As a pair of anteaters 
              (makes long-distance kissing easier)

I'm still not corny.
But...
        ...
           ...
     I sometimes hope that I need a blood transfusion from 
     her every 42 days so that I can always have 
       a piece of her
           with me 
               at all times. 
          
I'm not corny.

But...
        ...
           ...
     But everyday, 
           Without fail 
                I pray that one day at the ripe age of 70
                I could 
                herd my grandchildren around my chair so
                I could
                explain every little thing that she did that 
                would humble even Frane Selak, 
               
                 Only for her to come in and yell 
                                    "You left the dishes, again"
               in that hypnotizing voice that I know all too
               well to which we all will erupt in laughter 
               and-and-and....

Ok.
I'm corny.


Damn it.
