Her eyes they shone as limpid pools alas but not for me
(the low tide of her breath could kill , all the fish in the sea )
Her flaxen hair be-stilled my heart , she wore it as a crown
( but so did Bozo after all and he was just a clown ! )

The alibaster of her skin , her smile as white as pearls
( be-lies it's texture , just like bark , it's even fooled some squirrels )
The essence of her beauty surely gods must have distilled
( it's either that or they miss-placed a bucket of pig-swill )

Those wqho would say "A rose by name , must surely smell as sweet "
(would plug their nose , or die in pain , if once they smelled her feet )
Her lithe yet supple form could cause a monk to break his vows
(but don't forget that some of them already worship cows )

Now what you say could drive a man to write so childishly ?
While only half of this was true , 'twas she rejected me !
