Poem 19 (43) -- What can I do to be more romantic?

Mikka Mi Amor                 Bones Kendall

 

 

What can I do to be more romantic?
Not much, you see, I'm too pedantic.
Somebody out there, help me!
I'm about as amorous as irony.
But if I were a different man,
I might not have such difficulty.
I would try as hard as I can–
Risking it all, even penalty,
Just to sweep you off your feet,
To give to you a special treat,
To be a man that can't be beat.
Yes–
I would cross the sea in a desperate race
To once more lay eyes on your pretty face.
I would swim to the bottom of the ocean
To impress you with my deep devotion.
I would spend my life trying to teach
If I thought it could bring us within reach.
I would dedicate to you a book of poetry
Just to try and get you to sleep with me.
I really wish I knew how to romance,
But I don't even know how to dance.
The only thing I can do to get a date
Is prevaricate.
