Diane
I’m going to tell a story
and I’ll do the best I can,
it’s all about a woman
who goes by the name diane.
I met her in the summer
when both of us were teens,
she was wearing a tie died t-shirt
and a pair of cut off jeans.
I scanned the party people
and she took me by surprise,
I locked onto her beauty
with my big ol’ googly eyes.
I drifted over to her
like a love sick mousse,
just like big headed thidwick
in that book by dr seuss.
I said how’s it going
you nice juicy sugar plum,
just what part of heaven
did you happen to fall from.
she said never mind that junk
just come a little nearer,
as she applied some fresh lipstick
and stared in her little mirror.
Then she gave me a kiss
and it was super swell,
and ever since that day
she has had me in her spell.
Now forty two years later
I’m still infatuated,
I love her more each day
and that ain’t exaggerated.
So happy anniversary diane
you’re the one I adore,
I’ve loved our years together
and I pray for many more.:)
