Analysis of Reasons



My girl acts and dramatizes,
Sometimes reads, or writes, or sings,
Also arts and poetizes,
Always busy doing things.
Always tired, always sleepy;
(Hardly seems to dream at night)
Described as quiet, often creepy;
My opinion: (She’s alright!)
Clever in her wit and humor;
Mind and body: (Quite attractive!)
Often fact, but never rumor;
Imagination: (Overactive!)
Somehow tolerates my driving,
(Her insane…) And on our dates
We joke about her not surviving
Scenarios (which we create)
Though I like to think I know her,
Can’t imagine what she sees
In me; (she could do quite much better)
Are reasons why I love her, these.
