An Ode to a Lovely Lady

My munchkins is a lady fair,
Though she can swear like a dockside navvy,
Never a day would pass by,
But she would run through my thoughts,
Addled though my brains may be.

I wish I could treat her the way she deserves to be,
For she is ever kind and thoughtful
More than she needs to be

Whereas I
am just a fool
I am
just me

So Happy Valentine's Day, my sweet munchkins
How I wish that I could
Deliver these gifts to you

Hugs from within my arms
Kisses from within my heart
And this sweet
painful
yearning

From the raggedy depths
of my soul.
