If my love should live forever

She’ll go on murdering crosswords cos

(No one can deny) she’s clever

Inbuilt brilliance – she can toss

Patient, too, you’ll hear no “Fuck its”

And, on top, she’s so good looking 

But as for proof of her great taste, she

Went and chose from all mankind – Me


Tall, svelte, muscular, at DIY

Where I go the girls all sigh

They say. “But Alison’s destroyed our hopes

We’ll go back home and watch the soaps”.
