Oh you’re a poet
I’m asked at parties
You must be ro-MAN-tic
Now who said THAT
By ro-MAN-tic do you
Mean affectionate yes I’m
That I am affectionate
Are you a LUUU-ver
By LUUU-ver do you
Mean have I loved
Yes I have I
Have loved many times
But by romantic do
You mean that I
Ponder to understand the
Depths of loves despair
Of lonely overly imbued
Scantily clad cocktail guests
That are as desperate
As a camel searching
For an oasis from
Which to sate themselves
Only to read about
It here tomorrow morning
Then yes sweetheart I’m
A poet and romantic
*and she staggers off
