MONO-GAMY

Dragged before white cake    
I dare choose only      
Mono in my gamous
Before the life sentence of I do.
I will learn to settle
Down to yard work and
Become a tinker in my trade
Before the perturbations prove
Too much for me with
More patience than a starfish,
My topsails are still flapping.
Run Jane run
And drag some
Other toad of a prince
Before you!

 

 

IF WE COULD DANCE ONE NIGHT AWAY

If we could dance just one more night away
Filled with champagne and candlelight,
In hours held by our own delight,
Only this and this alone would please.
Like Chablis mixed with sweet bouquet
In moments we soon shall not forget
Save all not close to the clarinet,
Where only perfume and tobacco lingers
Our love shall rise above all of these.
While we tango upon the outer terrace
Moonbeams shall fall upon your face,
And I shall say that nothing really matters
Except this time that we have passed
Because we have saved our best for last.
