Requiem

In lieu of flowers, send to me
A woman who knows how to be
Kind and honest, cheerful, sweet,
Devoted, loyal, tender meat,

Fit and healthy, full of life,
Knows the duties of a wife,
Takes good care of what she’s got,
Not concerned with what she’s not.

She doesn’t have to be sublime
As long as I can call her mine
And rock the endless night away
In passionate and loving play.
