Love Poems For All Seasons: Happy Valentine’s Day!

Bee my Valentine!

One of my secret desires is to become a renowned poet, and I keep on looking for subject matters to compose poems. Thus, inspired by the oncoming Valentine’s Day, I brainstormed and recollected some high moments from my love life with the Black Sheep or Humpty Dumpty or Johny Johny—these are the terms of endearment that I use to address my husband with. And what follows is my sincere effort to express some of those memorable moments in verse.

Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, have you any wool?
Yes dear, yes dear, three bags full!
Then make me your wife,
And give me the bags,
One for my mummy ji,
And one for my sis,
And one for my lazy brother,
Who also lives with us.

Let’s both of us go up the hill,
To fetch a pale of water.

On second thoughts,
Why don’t you go alone,
While I visit a beauty parlor?

Twinkle Twinkle little star,
I wonder why you are so small,

Why don’t you work extra hard,

And aspire to be a bigger star?
Then buy me diamonds and designer stuff,
So that my social life gets a jump-start!

Humpty Dumpty, don’t go near that wall,
Don’t make excuses big or small.
If I see you talking to the neighbor’s wife,

Don’t blame me for the consequences.

All the plaster of Paris, I assure you, then,
Wouldn’t be able to put you together again!

Johny, Johny,
Yes, sweetheart,
Have you been smoking?
No, sweetheart,

Have you been drinking?

No, sweetheart.
Have you been chatting?
No, sweetheart.
