perfection

\nShe doesn’t have the perfect shape
\nShe’s not the ideal size
\nHer lunch is chips and not a grape
\nShe’s just right in my eyes.<\/p>\n
Her hair is not dressed twice a day
\nNo airbrush changed her face
\nHer hips have just a little sway
\nI want her near my place<\/p>\n
Her clothes are nice, but not “right now”
\nThose jeans are off the peg
\nYet everything is right somehow
\nShe makes me want to beg<\/p>\n
She looks me straight between the eyes
\nShe doesn’t call me fat
\nI know her praise is sometimes lies
\nThere’s nothing wrong with that<\/p>\n
I see no fault if she is wrong
\nAnd she sees none in me
\nThat’s just the way we get along
\nAnd how it ought to be<\/p>\n
I feel a buzz when others stare
\nAnd think “you lucky man”
\nI see this happen everywhere
\nI’m just her biggest fan<\/p>\n
I cannot think there’s any way
\nTo make a better girl
\nThis pure perfection everyday
\nHas left me in a whirl<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t swap the merest part
\nI wouldn’t even try
\nYou see she’s stolen all my heart
\nThe twinkle in my eye.<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nWritten as a contest entry for a contest run by JinSays but it closed before I
\nfinished i, don’t you hate it when that happens?
\nHowever JinSays is a perfect lady and now the poem is in the contest
