Clarification Poem by Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore

Perhaps, at times, my methods of courting
you may seem too much; and from the
contrasting cultural perspective that is your
own appear over the top. But, trust me,
it’s not. For what I’m doing is quite
normal for me if perhaps a little
strange for you; since it’s also
characteristic of my upbringing and the way I was
taught and encouraged to deal with such matters
of the heart. Of course, I can’t deny that with
the advent of you in my life, what for me is
a traditional activity has become much
more pleasurable in its actuality.
