My Diamond in the Ruff I call her my jewel of the east Sometimes my diamond in the ruff Treats me like the least of the least The diamond n’er polished enough. It is not that I did not try It’s now going on sixty year I guess the question would be why? But that would cause a painful ear. It’s either that I love her so Or the kind that never gives up. Whatever the frame, it’s my hoe. And I drink alone from this cup. It’s true she gave me extra time I’d either be in bed or dead My eating habits are a crime. It’s something that she said and said. And I believe her swear declare For it is, my nightly nightwear. |

Seymour, this is playfully cynical. I enjoyed it, thanks. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

That nightwear you wear has nightly polished the stone.... and rightly so.... and what's that sparkling back at me.... a Sy who holds the memories.... |

I call her my jewel of the east Sometimes my diamond in the ruff Treats me like the least of the least The diamond n’er polished enough. ======================= It’s either that I love her so Or the kind that never gives up. Whatever the frame, it’s my hoe. And I drink alone from this cup. It’s true she gave me extra time I’d either be in bed or dead My eating habits are a crime. It’s something that she said and said. And I believe her swear declare For it is, my nightly nightwear. ======================== Well all I can say ... is she must be blind does she not see the gem of you ... the rare and treasured find? Could she not see ...the twinkle in your eye. Could she not see ... the way you fly? Well her loss ... is anothers gain. Me thinks that she ... must be insane. Youre a gemstone ... an emerald rare ... and a poet ... beyond compare. Winkiewinkie   meWe wish ourselves beautiful, |
