For The Man Who Has Everything (me)

In Amanda Greenleaf-Whelan, Marketplace: Waitress From Nashville, Rhymes of Passion Fruit on February 25, 2010 at 6:29 am

 

I don’t approve of poetry

I don’t approve of hens

I don’t approve of parking lots

I will not write with pens

I don’t approve of little boys or nannies in a huff

I don’t approve of common noise or sonnets spoke from ruff

I don’t approve of falling stars with wishes tagged upon them

Nor do I know how Santa feels as toys lay heavy on him

Yet, you I may approve of…

Yet, you I may adore…

I watch you slip across my dreams with crimson lips galore

Yes, you have something irksome, a taste I can not name

I don’t believe I’ll tell you why—I love you all the same
