Lupercalia
The day began as most all do with my eye's watching and adoring you, the break of dawn,
first light of morn, today a beautiful new word was born 'Lupercalia'
The night before we had laid so tight, I'd proposed and now you'll be my wife, but on one
condition to which I must obey, find a new word for the world's united romance day.
The second month, the 6th week, there was a list of word's I could not speak, instead of
feeling slightly blue, I took on the challenge whilst I gazed at you
Eros must of laughed whilst drawing back his bow, to deal me such a challenging blow, but
I accept this quest with all my might, I'll make sure that you become my wife
Through the twilight's first shot of light, I felt a twinge of failing fright, what if
word's were not to come, not a new expression, I felt struck dumb
Come now think, this can't be hard, think what you'd write in her banned word card, to
omit the word that rhymes with hours, to give her in place something that rhymes with towers.
Isn't this just fine and dandy, I'm saying this instead of blimey! Nearly made a fatal
slip, least she never took the best word, kiss
My Dove, my life my special one, who stupid found for me when dove begun, accept these
hours, and sweet flavoured dandy, 6 weeks, 14th, say that you'll marry me, I dove you now
as from the start, I hope you understand what's in my cart, Lupercalia, happy Lupercalia
day, thank goodness this word too was not struck away.
Darling she said I dove you to, and I can't wait to carry you, I give to you my cart as
well, now when we speak of us no-one else can tell, the passion that we both deeply share,
for we'll always have Lupercalia there.
