       (This is my little poem just for you. Nobody else understands. I guess I wanted to tell you how much I love you this morning. When I said I'd used up the words, somebody said I hadn't used them all up yet. It all began in bed one morning:--So you finish it!--OK?)

       You're my precious little Heart
       I carry with me wherever I go
       And we can never be apart
       So we can share the blessings we know.
       How I loved you from the start
       And I've always been your beau
       Now they know it in the mart
       That God's Children still love MO!
       Oh, I'm pierced with Cupid's dart
       He that knows no friend nor foe
       These are thoughts I cannot sort
       And their meaning I don't know.
       We just cannot be apart
       I just only know it's so!
       And I got you in my cart
       So here's with love from your ol' MO!
       You're my dearest little tart
       That is why I love you so
       Even if you had a wart
       You'd still be my little doe!
       For our loving is an art
       That is like a nice fresco
       And I don't e'en give a fart
       If we never have no dough!
       You cannot our love abort
       For it knows no Clemenceau
       And it works in any port
       'Cause I said I told you so!
       Don't you ask me what that means
       For I do not understand
       But this here one thing I know
       You can find in every land.
       Even skinny little Bart
       He can find his plump shad roe
       We can love'em by the quart
       And it makes'em laugh: HO, HO!
       Cause you always got to spirt
       When she says to you, Go, Go!
       And I love you till you hurt
       And you cry out, Oh, Oh, Oh!
       Many things they rhyme with art
       Many things they rhyme with Oh
       So it makes me a braggart
       Just like Edgar Allan Poe.
       Now we're back here at the start
       And no further we can go
       Therefore may we never part
       Just because I love you so!
       So it's now I'm out of art
       For words that rhyme with art and Oh
       But I like you a la carte
       With my kneedle you can sew
       'Til it blows you all apart
       And you have these seeds from MO!
