The Loves She Doesn’t

I don’t know much

‘Bout the girl I love

But I know she’s not for flowers

She doesn’t care for boxed chocolates

Nor jewel-encrusted towers

She’s not a fan of strings of pearls

Or operatic boxes

She’s never worn a single fur

No beavers, mink, or foxes

And I am sure she has no interest in

Cracked teeth, scraped knees, or sneezes

Because a multitude of remedies

She takes as oft she pleases

So since she’s not for finer things

Nor a virus or a germ

I will instead just draw for her 

The sweetest pachyderm
