her mind lissom
her body the same
her memory not so hot
as she always forgot my name
I courted her
both day and night
she was uncertain
but I knew I was right
she floated about
both in and then out
from lily pad to lily pad
spinning and turning about
from being shot down
I was always warry
but one glorious day
she said, is your name larry?
it was like the sun
rose and set for her and I
for from that day on
life would not pass me by
I failed to see her
on the bus or the train
but I bump into her daily
even if just in my brain
lissom \LISS-uhm\, adjective;
also lissome:
1. Limber; supple; flexible.
2. Light and quick in action; nimble; agile; active.
