forgive me for this subtle form of certain subterfuge
but with my most vulnerable of feelings I am more
stingy than Ebenezer Scrooge
I tend to hold my humorous facade much too close to my
visual vest
but make note that what I have so far invested in you
has been to date my positive best
I only give out pertinent personal information solely
upon the most polite request
yet with this free style lovely linkage of romantic
verse I admit I have been somewhat blessed
and to your seemingly lost and lonely heart this so
called talent my love I have successfully let trespass
with these thin pages and corresponding words I've
started alone the building of a fine and nicely
feathered nest
If only I possessed some simple form of courage
my heart to you I'd happily say be my most welcomed
guest
please accept my humblest apologies if my poetic love
letters have become an unwelcomed pest
but know that what I speak of concerning my fragile
feelings for you is no form of insult or jest
just one last time please let me say what I feel
out of all it is that I feel for you I'll try to be
brief in my future attempts of this to convey
to myself in just this manner I forever remain true
and the safest way I know how to say I love you
is through this sweet MAILING WOO.............
