Poem for Perlilly

On a low day in Leeds, after playing the fool,
A pretty girl said, hi there, and made me feel cool,
She cheered me up; she took me by surprise,
She had the sweetest of faces; sad soulful eyes,
And over a tub of horrible chews,
I went and fell in love – but then shocking news!
She was taken, by another; she had a boyfriend,
And pop! went my dreams, of snuggling her in bed.
Several months passed, and we spoke no more,
Till one day in Hyde Park, I came to her door,
We chatted, and flirted, late into the night,
And a friendship was born, to my heart’s delight,
And over the weeks, the friendship grew strong,
And closer together, our minds became one,
Till watching the fireworks, on November the Fifth,
Our hands slipped together, and later we kissed.
Oh what joy I found, in her gorgeous face!
What happiness, and splendour, in her warm embrace!
In love, I fell, deeper – ever deeper down,
Our entwined naked bodies: why, I see them now.
I’d felt that for me, love had passed by,
I was wrong, now I see; for that I could cry –
With joy, don’t you see, for I’m one lucky guy,
My cheeky chimpy girlfriend is tastier than pie.
