 For Paula There Once Was A Maiden There once was a maiden who was young and so sweet Everywhere that she went people said, my she's a treat She was a fairytale princess, like the lady Of Shalott She'd walked right out of a story, the tales of Camelot She could have been Guinevere, out of Arthur's heart Except it took Sir Lancelot to tear her world apart There once was a maiden she was as charming as can be So charming was she that birds would leave their trees Elegant was she, with grace and deportment so fine She knew what to say and also when to draw the line Graceful she was, she had a dancers charm and grace And pretty, my goodness yes, you never saw a fairer face There once was a maiden who had a heart of pure gold A generous and loving soul give her your heart to hold She's seeking someone but she's not having any luck Don't worry I won't let her be bowled out for a duck That's a cricket term for those who don't really know Still hold on, love is the name of this maiden's show There once was a maiden and she was destined to live A maiden who had love and then so much more to give She was filled with truth and her love glowed through Now I'm seeking and I ask can the one possibly be you? Only the very best would be worthy of her loving heart And if you are the one I know you won't tear it all apart Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Paula love, you didn't think I'd write anything but the truth about you surely. P T, expects me to stretched it a little. (Sssshush P T, everyone knows you've got an army of lady docs queuing up to see if you live up to the legend!) And he does people, he does I'm glad you like it love, of course you know I only wrote it as a trade off for those shoes don't you.  Shall I duck when you lob them at me love? Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Sandra, I had to you know, she's got these divine silver shoes and I want them. (It was the word silver, if it glitters I've just got to wear it) And when she told me, well you know what it's like, I know. Anyway I rummaged around in my little poetry bag and threw together this little thing. I thought hey Paula won't mind, that it's not up to spec. And you see it's upset her so much it made her cry. I'm glad you like it, being serious for a moment, she does deserve a special poem. (It's a pity this isn't it I'll just have to try harder!Thank you love I do appreciate you reading this.  Startime/ Karen, thank you love, I'm sorry about all my nonsense, it's a just a little bit of fun Paula P T and I have. A bit like the three stooges, I wonder which one that makes me. Oh well whatever, thank you very much, I do appreciate it. Take care Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
