O my love is nothing like a rose ( with apologies to Robert Burns)

Rosa gallica


O, my love is nothing like a rose,
That is newly sprung in June.
O, my love is like the melody,
That is played quite out of tune.

Discordant notes mark well our life
O Married as we are,
But I will love you still, my Dear,
Even though it is bizarre.

Even though it is bizarre, my Dear,
And we wonder what we’ve done!
O I will love you still, my Dear,
Because we’ve had such fun.

We’ve fought all night my darkest love
We’ll fight again tonight
But I’d rather fight a thousand fights
Than lose you from my sight

With apologies this St Valentine's Day to Robert Burns whose poem "My Love is Like a Red Red  Rose" inspired this piece of doggerel....


Go on you know you want to...
