By this example I now give, I hope you see the truth,
The life you live is yours to live, enjoying strength and youth.
Your girlfriend is adorable, fantastic, and so fair,
I know that she is beautiful and love her chestnut hair.
Proclaim she sets your heart aflame while I kiss your Louise!
I only need to hear her name to feel a sense of peace.
While new rhymes you may discover, I kiss and then propose.
As I tell her that I love her with you still writing prose.
Though that fact you may be dreading if you still stay at home,
I will be there at my wedding while you work on your poem!
