She came at me | 1 |
from where I never knew | 2 |
flashing those wide dark ovals | 3 |
that peeked of mysterie and malaise | 4 |
under my radar | 5 |
swoopt in plain sight | 6 |
grabbed at my heart and stole away | 7 |
till I gave chase | 8 |
snatcht it up in a trice | 9 |
and grabbed her soul for evensies | 10 |
| |
The lickle imp she was | 11 |
Neighbors dilling darling, | 12 |
darling dilling, | 13 |
she turned our orbs topsy-turvy | 14 |
yet dwelt atop our lists | 15 |
special invitee whom naught need be called forth | 16 |
for all occasions mischief-ready | 17 |
un-four-get-table, | 18 |
under table, underfoot, | 19 |
captivated our body parts | 20 |
| |
Till at last I snatch’d her nose and made her beg to return it to its rightful owner | 21 |
which she always claim’d to be | 22 |
and coyly too | 23 |
then ran away | 24 |
| |
And to whom I gave in all ways | 25 |
and forever would I | 26 |
