There once was a woman named aptly Snappy T.
Happy, tappy and zappy as a rappy dappy me.
Diligent and hardworking as a slappy bumblebee.
The envy of most, also proud owner of a nappy chickadee.
Friends and admirers loved to watch out for little Snappy T.
She was a favorite in the city so, lappy, zappy, free.
Pollyanna delightful, and pretty, a flappy, clappy she.
She wore exotic dresses cut low into their dappy, happy vee.
Snappy T was the talk of the town, a poet and sweetpea.
People spoke of her exploits, and her pappy lappy monkey.
His name was Mr. Jappy, as grizzly ugly as could be.
But he loved his mistress – appy, dappy, glappy Snappy T.
Her reputation went viral, this media darling slappy Snappy T.
A wonderful influencer on Snapchat for her vappy zappy chi.
People loved her advice, she did not charge them a pappy mappy fee.
She retired with eighteen million. Being kind was the mappy dappy key.
Men fought over who would love her the most, loving Snappy T.
Women wanted to be her, imitating her for that was zappy free.
Her grandma made her a bride’s dress, with a clappy princess Z.
She was the talk of many generations, this gorgeous Snappy T.

REST YOUR LOVE RIGHT HERE UPON MY HEART
AND LET ME TAKE ALL YOUR CARES AWAY.
HELP ME TO FEEL AS IF I’M WANTED FOREVER
PLANT YOUR LOVE ON ME AND LET IT STAY.
KISS ME WITH YOUR SOFT, TENDER LIPS
AND HOLD ME AS IF YOU’D NEVER LET ME GO.
LAY YOUR HEAD RIGHT HERE UPON MY CHEST
AND FEEL ALL MY LOVE FOR YOU GROW.
WHISPER YOUR SWEET WORDS SO SOFTLY
AND SQUEEZE MY SHOULDER WITH YOUR HAND.
AND OPEN YOUR HEART TO ALL MY LOVE
AND TELL ME YOU WANT ONLY ME FOR YOUR MAN.
SOFTLY AS THE MUSIC IS STILL PLAYING
LET YOURSELF GO AND FEEL MY BEATING HEART.
LET ME LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAY
AND LET’S LET OUR LOVE LIGHT START.
I’LL LOVE YOU TILL THE STARS QUIT SHINNING
AS SLOWLY I BRUSH YOU OFF YOUR FEET.
AND LISTEN AS THOSE SOUNDS OF REAL LOVE
ECHO FROM OUR HEARTS AS THEY BEAT.
TOGETHER FOREVER AND AGAIN SWEETPEA
LET’S GIVE OUR LOVE A HEAD START.
AND LET ME TAKE ALL YOUR CARES AWAY
AS YOU REST YOUR LOVE UPON MY HEART

If I could be a flower for thee,
It would be the sweetest of sweet sweetpea,
I would cling to you with tendrils so strong,
my perfume would stay with you even
when I had gone.
But instead if your pet I should be,
then make it one to be with you eternally,
If you want neither pet nor flower,
turn aside, leave, do not watch
as I wither by the hour.
