If only energy would stay –
Two fingers up to eighty-two –
Because you’re ill I’d wait on you
Devotedly both night and day
And you would never need be tired
‘Cos of this handyman you’ve hired
You’d only go upstairs three times
Per day, you’d never shop or cook
Maybe you’d sit and read a book
I’d care for you and make up rhymes
(You might call poems, I dunno)
Much of the time our love we’d show
By kissing, holding hands, stroke brow
Hey, we do that anyhow!
