Birch in a new dress,
Her tender hair is so fine!

she silenced a cricket
my heart still beating

Spectacular yet hollow
The nurse edged the pills towards her
But she liked this better.

bare-footed held the floor
Famed for a Puppet-on-a-string
her win made all England sing

How blessing
Moms?
Her son a song to be
Music to form his children
All at homes to sit
Together to sing

ripe as apples in garden
almost killed men
but their hearts sang unknown songs
all the way home
in abject poverty

always whispering
things I'll never hear.

my perfect life partner
but it turned out
her favorite song was

A singer in search of a song
Discovered that they were all wrong
Whatever she sang
Was like a bell rang
And everyone flashed her their dong

A saint once procured for her phone
Entirely a new type of tone.
When starting to ring,
The angels would sing,
Direct from the heavenly zone.

lingering on my forehead
plant love in my drumming heart
hugs sing harmony

danced to and fro a moment there
her flowery skirt swayed

Gorden Lightfoot sang of a sinking ship
that mother superior never forgets
Lori Lightfoot is mayor
to a city of slayers
her political bow is starting to list

She's magisterial material
Though she's not on a box of cereal
'Tomorrow' she's sung
Her curly locks stun

Killer sounds slips through her lips
yet you haven't found relieve. Mind playing tricks, heart screaming truth.
And you still disobey, not listening to her pain.

Excites me strongly a strange housewife
Passion for her deprives of peace my life
She is inaccessible because of my poverty
If I live further - I'll get a precious property
