I know this is past the deadline so I don't expect any credit for it. But, honestly, the dog ate the paper the first time and I had to rewrite it. Then I left it in my shirt pocket and it got ruined in the laundry, etc, etc. Anyway, I guess it turned out to not be very funny after all.


I once knew a girl with curled hair,
Who, to me, was the fairest of fair;
She became my dear friend
But it all had to end;
Now she's gone and I don't know where.

And she was rare beauty to see,
And she was attracted to me;
So I gave it a go
For I just didn't know
That in fact, it never could be.

Alas she was wed to a guy,
Who was twenty years younger than I,
Who gave her nice toys
And two beautiful boys,
But sometimes he would make her cry.

And a goddess I always called her,
For my joy in her smile and her laughter;
I could never be mad,
And would always be glad
If just given the chance to be near her.

Bewitched by her eyes of gray-blue,
And the sound of her sultry voice too,
And the touch of her hand --
You must understand --
How I loved her then ... And still do.

And that smile that she always wore,
That I couldn't help but adore,
Always gave me a thrill
As my heart it would fill
With happiness, and so much more.

Maybe somewhere in life there may be
A short time for her beside me,
But I don't see a way
For it soon -- like today --
So I'll patiently wait and see.

This poetic limerickal saga sounds pretty good for someone who professes not to be a poet, don't ya think???
