~~~ What Do Ya' Reckon ~~~

"Well what do ya' reckon," He said,
He smiled at her and his eyes they shone.
"I scrub up pretty good for a lost and lonely bloke,
Are you the one, that I can set me 'art upon?"

"I could make ya' 'appy and I could make ya' glad,
And I will cuddle ya' and 'old ya' when ya' sad.
I will 'old ya' in me arms all nice and tight,
And snuggle ya' to stop ya' getting' cold at night."

"And talk about a lover, just forget about me looks,
'Cos I'd probably scare the icing off'a weddin' cake,
But, I 'ave the kindest 'art and from you I'd never part,
And I knows for sure, that ya' 'art would never break."

"So say yes, say yes to this lost and lonely man'
And takes me to ya' 'art like I knows ya' can.
I've nothin' much to give ya', only me,
But I'll love ya' now and for all eternity."

~~~ My Maiden Fair ~~~

Will you be my maiden fair?
And let me touch your silken hair,
For, within my heart I'd always care,
Just knowing that you want me there.

Please let me kiss your softest cheek,
And hear the words of love I speak,
It's just your heart I wish to seek,
Then, into our souls, our both would sneak.

My love for you I shall display,
In words of rhyme I'll write each day,
In words of rhyme to you I'll say,
Of how my love for you will stay.

My heart is full of love for thee,
My love that goes to you from me,
So let our love keep flowing free,
Then in-side love, we'll always be.

~~~ Mud Lady ~~~

There she was, just standing there,
Mud from arse-hole to breakfast,
But she didn't seem to care,
And she smiled when I gave her a blast.
She'd never played in mud before.
It was like, she was a child again,
But when I yelled from the open door,
She gave me a look, hurt, and of dismay.
She said, "You know, I'm forty three and,
I've never had mud between my toes,
And walked around bare footed in the rain
So let me explain,
No matter how mad you goes,
I'll do it, again, and again and again."

~~~ Hugs Made in Heaven ~~~

I bet your hugs were made in heaven
And, do you know how I can tell?
Its 'cos every time you huggle me
You make me feel so swell

And you make me feel special
Just as nice as nice could be
And my heart it beats like crazy
Each time you huggle me.

'Cos, your hugs they are the best'est
They just make me melt inside
And no one could give a better hug
No matter how they tried

So just keep those hugs a' comin'
'Cos, I need them every day
And, if I never get 'em
I'll just simply run away.

~~~ Planting Veggies ~~~

Today we planted veggies,
The type we like to grow,
We turned the soil, and pulled the weeds
Then shoo'ed away the crows,

Peas and beans and pumpkin seeds
And rockies two by two,
And when they grow we'll eat them up,
Just us, me and you.

So, we'd better water them each day,
With our special watering can,
And watch them grow, inch by inch,
Till they fit inside our pan.

Growin' veggies is such fun,
When you do it with your heart,
And you do it with the one you love,
They'll grow right from the start.

Veggies grow the best with love,
And fertilizer too,
But they grow the best'est in the world,
When they're planted by us two.

So, to all you people way out there,
Who like their veggies fresh,
You have to plant with love and care,
To get the sweetest flesh.

So, when you plant a veggie patch,
Do it with a friend,
'Cos your veggies, they will grow and grow,
And they'll never ever end.
