And Be My Love

Come live with me and be my cutie,
You quirky and enchanting beauty;
Make thunder-troubled skies turn blue,
O demoiselle of five-foot-two.

 

Come live with me and be my belly,
The peanut-butter to my jelly:
Between slices of bread, let's find
Repose so tranquil, peace so kind.

 

Cloister with me, my rarest pearl:

The world's our oyster. Brightest girl!

We'll run off to a cottage fair
And frolic in our underwear.

 

Come, dazzle me, my babe so fine,
With foot, with ankle so divine,
And let me bow my silly head
To kiss the traces of your tread.

 

Oh, let me be your aging swain!

Of aching bones hear me complain.
Will anyone restore my youth?
You surely can, and that's the truth.

 

Abide with me, my lusty queen,
And let us cuddle, snuggle, lean
(Though summer blaze, though winter bite)

Into each other every night.

 

Pray, dwell with me within my castle.
Make me your votary, your vassal,
Your sub, your servant-boy, your slave:
Please teach me, mistress, to behave.

 

Come, be my Grace in Monte Carlo!
I've got more cash than old Kit Marlowe.
We'll smooch beneath the Christmas holly
I'll be your only Walter Raleigh.

Boy oh boy, when you get it right, you get it REALLY right (write), this is so much fun.

It might mess up your syllable count, but my chuckle-meter would rise were the the last word of the penultimate stanza, be "misbehave!"

Dy-no-mite!

With admiration,

This is superb! I think Marlowe might well have wished he could have injected some humour into his impassioned plea to the object of his amours. Or perhaps not - but whatever the response to Marlowe, I am sure the five-foot-two demoiselle would have found this irresistible.
Personally I think life and love should always be served with lashings of humour. Delightful!
