All a lady needs
\nby cricketjeff on March 24, 2009.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nI looked on your list and I suffered a shock
\nThere’s whisky and dresses and rainbows and more
\nBut you are a lady so where is the rock?
\nA diamond’s the thing that all girls must adore<\/p>\n
I’d mount them in silver or maybe white gold
\nOn bangles or dangles or studs in your ears
\nEach birthday a new one, before you are old
\nYou’d have a collection to last you for years<\/p>\n
A kitten is cutesy but needs lots of care
\nA tattoo is kinky and personal too
\nThe lilies are lovely but found everywhere
\nA diamond’s the present I’m choosing for you<\/p>\n
Whatever your offered is sure to be nice
\nBut don’t ever settle for not getting ice!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nIf you care about form you could call it an undecasyllabic tetrameter sonnet,
\nor you could call it a poem about a diamond for your birthday
