here's one sheila would approve of

 

By W H Auden – Foxtrot from a Play

 

The soldier loves his rifle

The scholar loves his books,

The farmer loves his horses.

The film star loves her looks,

There's love the whole world over

Wherever you may be;

Some lose their rest for Mae West,

But you're my cup of tea

 

Some talk of Alexander

And some of Fred Astaire,

Some like their heroes hairy

Some like them debonair,

Some prefer a curate

And some an A. D. C,

Some like a tough to treat em rough,

But you're my cup of tea

 

Some are mad on Airedales

And some on Pekinese,

On tabby cats or parrots

Or guinea pigs or geese.

There are patients in asylums

Who think that they're a tree,

I had an aunt who loved a plant,

But you're my cup of tea.

 

Some have sagging waistlines

And some a bulbous nose

And some a floating kidney

And some have hammer toes,

Some have tennis elbow

And some have housemaid's knee,

And some I know have got B.O.,

But you're my cup of tea.

 

The blackbird loves the earth worm,

The adder loves the sun,

The polar bear an iceberg,

The elephant a bun,

The trout enjoys the river;

The whale enjoys the sea,

And dogs love most an old lamppost,

But you're my cup of tea.

Really like the first poem Poet. Suitable for a wedding I think!

 

I think Sheila might just like the second one
