By the light of a love-bug
 

By the light of a love-bug I'm writing to you

It's not very bright but it's honest and true

There's just enough sparkle to follow my pen

To tell you I love you again and again

I'll write that I need you, I'll write right away

I'll write until dawn there'll be so much to say

I'll write 'til exhausted nay begging for sleep

A small price to pay for all you mean to me

I'll write you in prose, acrostic, burlesque

I'll write you a sonnet in which I'll express

My passion, my ardour, my fervour, my zeal

My cup runneth over, my senses they reel

I'll write that I want you, I'll write it again

I'll write that I'll love you forever Amen

I'll write you a cuddle, a lover's embrace

A word fashioned climax to save until late

I'll write you to heaven by means of a star

We'll make love on Venus canoodle on Mars

And when we get back we can do it again

By the light of the love-bug that's sat on my

Pen
