TEN THINGS ABOUT YOU
that I should like to have genetically modified:
1) the way you snore directly in my ear
2) and when I call, "Food's ready!" disappear
just long enough for souffles to collapse;
3) your tendency to mumble, "Mmmm ... perhaps
or, on the other hand, mmmm ... maybe not,"
4) that funny little wart-like, dark red spot
& 5) on your bald patch, your pigeon-toed left foot;
6) and, while they're at it, get your chin to jut
a half-inch forward, level with your lips;
7) expand your chest, commensurate with your hips;
8) I hope they can retune your nasal voice;
9) my mother always felt, if she'd the choice,
she'd modify the somewhat piggy size
10a & b
and shape and coloration of your eyes;
in fact she said (I didn't like her tone)
there wasn't much that she would leave alone
but since I love you, darling, as you are,
(almost) I wouldn't venture quite that far.
So, one last thing (I'll number it 10c)
you are a bit TOO critical of me.
