You have the Skin I Love to Touch, You've kept that smooth School Girl Complexion, Because I Love Nice Things so much You've won my heart and my affection. I love your Sunkist hair, your smile; Your kisses—I cannot deny For one of them I'd Walk a Mile, They're Mild and Yet They Satisfy. It's plain Such Popularity Must Be Deserved. With all my power, I'll tell the world you are to me A miracle, Fresh Every Hour. Yes, There's a Reason—which is you. About me your enchantment casts A spell which is forever new, In other words—The Flavor Lasts. Oh let me always be about To guard you from life's many ills, Absorb the Shocks That Tire You Out And pay your board and lodging bills. Eventually, Why Not Now? We'll settle down, no more to roam, And have—if so the fates allow— A Little Fairy in Our Home! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FLOWER AND THORN by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 85.
