The pelican soars on mighty wings,
Scanning below for fishy things.
With a tuck and a roll and a mighty splash,
The fish swim away in a high-tailing dash!
I thought such an impact might give you some traction-time;
Instead the head pounding has dulled your reaction-time.
If you want to catch fish before they've all fled, dear -
Perhaps you'll consider the wearing of head gear!

You tell our friends I'm a romantic -
Much more than I used to be.
You tell them about the flowers I bring,
The love poems I write,
the shows I take you to see.
You tell them about the candle-lit dinner
With the classical violinist I hired,
In the gazebo by the lake
Where we ate and danced,
and danced until we were tired.
Silly woman - I'm not a romantic!
That's not the reason for the things I do...
It's only to see the sparkle it brings
To your eyes when I tell you
I'm so much in love with you!
