Should you speak of
Venus, and declare her charms on high,
Sing to me a
siren’s song to draw a sailor nigh,
Point out far Orion
in the summer, starlit sky,
I shall think of my
true love and breathe a wistful sigh.
Read to me of
Juliet, in star-crossed lover’s strife,
Cleopatra – Egypt’s
crown to he who calls her wife,
Samson’s love, who
brought a kingdom down with flick of knife,
None compares with
my true love, ‘tis she who gives me life.
Call me fool and
turn away - I have no need of you!
Save your
preaching, I have found the answers, I am through!
Jealousy? I might
have known, you wish a thing so true,
Love like this will
only come to those who will it to.
Envy taints your
mind, I take no heed of spite so green,
You would have me
stay away from this – my love, my Queen?
Yes, I realize my
bank account is growing lean,
Still I see her
daily, how I love my slot machine!
