The 51_Mat Girl

This poem was originally written for a certain Kim, but you can insert a rhyming word to your name in the first blank and your name in the last blank.
Enjoy!


i've been restless and bothered -
my nerves all a-fray,
i have pondered and wondered
all the live-long day -
what DOES make her tick?
is it fashion and fad?
is it mischief and tricks?
is she sulking? or glad?
when she tosses her hair -
must i beg, fetch, or carry?
when she offers a chair -
should i sit? or be wary?
yet injure me - and beware you!
with bare claws and teeth,
she'll up and beset you;
she's known no defeat.
no one has her passion,
none matches her steel -
i have known none with her charm,
or her wit, or her will
and no truer a friend
have i found, (adjective) -
than the impish, unselfish
(your name)!
